short term changes based on the last few years.


Short term? When it varies so much over 70 years that I can just about
remember? 1940 Thames frozen 1959 Scorcher of a Summer, but 1951 a very
wet
one. 1947 and 1962 Winters terrible but 1976 a scorcher of a Summer
followed
by heavy rain.


Yes, I remember the seriously cold winters of my childhood. I'm only
58.

So you remember the winter of 1962-1963?

I remember the winter of 1946/47!
