#1 The Met Office Predicted this winter to be MILD and the summer to be a BBQ summer.

Neither was right. Maybe the Met office needs to look less at the needs of left wing politics and more at the big yellow ball of hydrogen fusioning through 150,000 tons a second...

#3  Met Office figures released on Monday are expected to show that the country is experiencing the coldest winter for up to 25 years.

Ummm, didn't Al Gore fly your way lately?

#4 The amusing part of this (aside from the Met being unrelentingly wrong) is that they just bought themselves one big-ass honking super-computer. How do you say "garbage in, garbage out" in British?

#5 Exponential Error (google it) means imperfect in, garbage out.

#9 Mafia from Estonia here.

We have nearly 2 1/2 feet on the ground, and it hasn't stopped snowing for three days. It's also -14 out.

Any surprise Estonians are among the most skeptical about global warming climate change MAN BEAR PIG in Europe?

#11 minus 16 degrees Celsius?

Warmer than here! I will take it.
Right now it is a balm zero Fahrenheit or -17.7 C and due to get a lot colder tonight.

Heck, I'm in the western chicago burbs and that's not someplace really north like Kotzebue Alaska.

#12 It kills me that Europeans are leading the Global Warming scaremongering. Rome is as far north as NYC. Paris is as north as Maine and Oslo is up Santa's arse. One would think they would be burning tires 24/7 to get an extra degree or two.
