There are rumours among meterological types that it might be a cold
hard winter (latitude of north atlantic wave, seawater temperature
differentials, Canadian jetstream direction, etc.) and I wondered
if
anyone on the group had any views?

The weather is essentially a chaotic dynamical system. I would place
exactly zero faith in such a long term forecast.

One week ahead is about as much as weather forecasters can expect to
produce moderately accurate predictions.
