OK, thought I would give a Winter forecast based on absolute variables, peerless models and CFS (Changes F'n Scenario), possible stratospheric warming and cooling (very cool so it is), wave events (hello!), glacier points, and snow in the Northern Hemisphere, or Chionio if you prefer. (when the snow heads to Greek I believe) - In summary, this Winter is gonna be coldish, with occasioanal warmish interludes and snow to low levels occasionally, overall it will be 0.000000000001C below average.
And I'm sorry - my forecast is as good as anyones lol!
