Weren't we supposed to be having 'the coldest winter for years' in 2014?
Ahh BEagle old chap, you've confirmed yourself as a Daily Depress reader - the paper who persist with their not-in-the-slightest-bit-exagerated doom laden headlines from the bloke-in-a-shed weather "forecaster" that proved to be completely wrong on pretty much every occasion. Even seaweed would have given a better prediction!

The headlines do make us chuckle at work, although it worries us a little that people think it's us making those predictions!

As for the Daily Heil's and Depress' claims about the seasonal forecast being wrong, well, they're cherry picking from something they don't understand to make news out of nothing and find someone else to blame - oh, and coincidentally try to claim they got it right (they didn't - as you say, remember the aforementioned coldest winter on record headlines they ran?)

Hopefully not too many people believe every word they read.... Oh, they do?
