I see the Eggspress is now predicting a month long heavy freeze!
Didn't that paper predict, back in October/November, a winter as bad
as the last?

No that was the Met office building on the reputation they established
in April with their forecast of a barbecue summer.

Maybe it's part of a "rescue Peacocks" campaign - we all need to rush
into the local Peacocks' store and buy all their thermal underwear :-)

Cheers, Jake
