Do you live in Bottesford (see you have Nottingham in profile, I live in Newark. I won't respond to all your data at moment. Monday night minimum was -12.0C. I have recorded in Newark since 1949, That was second coldest December night on Record Lowest was in 1981 at -12.6C Average minimum for last two weeks about -5C 1981data.html

If all the Gulf Stream does is slightly warm the waters around us, why are we 20C or so warmer than Moscow in the winter...?

Winter 2009 took us by surprise when NE winds blasted in at the end of January, and lasted three weeks. Winter 2010 started around 20 December and lasted two months. Jan average in Newark, max 4.3C min 0.1C. Coldest night at -4.8C This time it started by 26 November and 28th was a record cold min of -8.8C, and we have had much more snow already, more here than since 1979 I have watched several videos on Youtube suggesting the Gulf Stream is fizzling out. Is this not the scenario that we would expect
