mild winter

[Devonian]

But haven't something like 10 of the last 15 winters been the 10 mildest winters ever recorded in the UK??

If so, the warm winters have been with us for well over a decade and in which case we all know that weather patterns are cyclical and think its on something like a 25 year cycle between periods of warm v cold weather.

So the question should be, how long till the current cycle starts tailing off and we enter the next cold(er) spell.....

Bear in mind that it only takes a drop of a couple of degrees to have a huge impact on the actual weather that we get......
