I was told in sept that from the last week of November to
March will be extremely cold with several period of heavy snow.
The worst winter for a century , still they are never good with
The long range forecasts so let's hope they are wrong again

I have had two customers telling me we are in for a really cold winter again. Both stated this because the berry trees/bushes were well covered in berries  :-\
At the end of the day, if it's like last Jan, we are all going to have a bit of free time, hot water systems or not.

My prediction - for what it's worth - damp, mild, windy (moving in from the west) occasionally storm force alternating with some sunshine and cloud. Valid until 28/02/11.

It's a load of rubbish that about berries. Berry formation starts in the spring - nothing to do with the weather now at all  ;D

I've also heard someone say it could be another cold winter this year. I was told that by an ex-RAF bloke who has done survival courses and training. He reckons that this year fruit trees have had an abundance of fruit, much more than normal and later into the year.
Apparantley this is a sign that "nature will provide" for a harsh winter.
 ??? Hope he's bloody wrong  ;D

He is - fruit this year has nothing to do with conditions now - only conditions in Spring and possibly last winter. We could still freeze our bits off but it's got nothing to do with how much fruit there is - or isn't. Cold winters and dryish springs kill off bugs that damage buds etc and make for a healthier tree/shrub - hence more flowers and more fruit.
