Talk about the weather

No wonder we British are obsessed with the weather...just twelve months ago we experienced some of the coldest winds and iciest conditions I have known. The cold spell lasted until after Christmas. ITN even did a special snow report from Caerwys. My weather station recorded minus seven on a morning before the end of November. We may yet be in for a shock, but so far this autumn it has been unseasonably mild. However, last weekend cycling along the prom in Rhyl and Prestatyn people we were wearing their shorts and T shirts and playing games on the beach. The last three winters prior to this have been (with good reason) labelled severe; it will be fascinating to see what this years weather will bring.
