Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Interesting how a slightly different selection of words can give a completely different impression
From Kermit's link:

A Met Office spokesman said: "Most of the winters in the last 10 years have been relatively mild, with last winter being the second warmest on record.
"We expect it to be noticeably colder than last year." |
That suggests to me we are in for a real freeze-up.
But Met Office link on this thread (UK Metoffice winter forecast - Another mild winter) has a rather different slant:
| Quote: |
Another mild winter
This winter is forecast to be warmer than average. However, it is expected to be noticeably colder than last year, which was the second warmest winter since the UK climate series began in 1914. |
Which has more the impression of another winter in shorts and t-shirt.

LOL, that's Helen if I'm not mistaken - will this not be the 10th consecutive month she's managed to ski in the Cairngorms?
Were those mountains you drove past in the west though? Surely usually a bit warmer than the central and eastern highlands so that might account for the lack of snow?

Nah, that'll have to be sometime in the last century - don't you know it never snows in Scotland these days and everyone should be in the highlands in shorts and tee shirts all year round  - it must be true, I read it in the papers

Last year was the first year I had done any snow sports in Scotland even though im from Glasgow. I got up north about 6 times from December to march/April and there was plenty of snow each time I went up.
