    Thats pretty much stating the obvious dude but they really should get themselves a new Spokesperson . The comment comes in the context of forecasts that we are in for an exceptionally cold winter this time around.

    The full story including more from the legendary Dominic Woollartt the muppet who said

    We expect temperatures to drop in winter

    is on the BBC website Here . I belive the last nasty long winter here was in the early 1960s while none of the really cold snaps since have lasted longer than 1 week to 10 days before thawing. The worst in living memory was 1947 or 1948 when the snow remained on the ground for 3 months continous.

    We are due one of these yiz know :(

    Yippeee! Snow. I haven't seen snow in about 14 years.
    In fairness though, they're predicting this to be one of the coldest winters on record. Hmm, I don't think I'll hold them to that prediction, seeing as how on Friday night the weather forecast for Saturday was heave rain, and yet it turned out to be a fine day. Same thing Saturday night for Sunday and again completely wrong. If they can't see what's in front of them how do they know what's coming over the next four months?
    I think that guy must have been watching The Day After Tomorrow and got a bit confused with his facts :)
