    But who is making those warm clothes? Personally I like Scottish wooly scarfs

    So prolonged Indian summer if previous predictions are anything to go by?

    Not wishing to sound like a poo pooer but read this

    The four coldest winters of the last century were, in order of chilliness: 1963, 1947, 1940 and 1979. But it is 63 and 47 that remain the benchmarks for seasonal suffering.
    So when I cast my eye over your little graph I see that these dates do not tally, so I conclude La Nina has no direct correlation to the type of winter we have.

    I understand this is a consequence of the gulf oil spill.

    Or build a sewage recycling plant on one of your acres. Use the natural gas created and be self sufficient.
