I don't think your putting the mockers on anything just being realisitc, it has been a cold ish winter not record breaking but colder than what we have been use to, it's a move forward in the right direction if your a coldlover. I put this down to the disruption of the ocean conveyor with the cooling columns of water weakening year on year effecting the gulf stream and things look interesting over the long term, we could be wishing it was mild again in 10 years time.
