Hi all, totally new to this as I've only signed up today. Have always had a passion/obsession for extreme weather so I've little doubt that I'm in good company at long last. To give you all an example of how passionate I am about wicked weather, during the first freeze of 09/10 I used my bicycle as a crutch/aid to help me walk to work on one particular Sat morning as roads were simply glazed over with sheets of ice. The distance in question is 3 miles which I'd normally cycle in approx 15mins. Must have taken me an hour in temps of -10 degrees Celsius. I for one relish the thought of mother nature dishing out more of the same but the pessimist in me tells me it just ain't gonna happen, at least not this winter. I've no foundation for stating this other than noticing how this past few weeks the Azores high seems to be playing a relatively prominent role like it unfortunately did for almost all of last winter. Only a mere observation on my part of course. Please tell me I've got it oh so wrong :-)
