Worst Winter on Record Coming (Update)

I’ve written about the scaremongering going on forecasting the “worst winter on record” for 2011/12. But a pupil made me laugh today.

She got in the car and I said “is it hot enough for you?” She responded by saying how uncomfortable she’d been all week. But she added:

My dad has booked the week off in [mid] October because it’s his birthday and he reckons it’s going to be snowing.

I can’t figure out if he’s been paying too much attention to the seaweed, or maybe the bottle! Or maybe just believing too much of what he reads.
