Severe Winter Weather Outlook Issued For Ireland And UK
A number of senior UK-based academics have published their findings in the journal Environmental Research Letters. The basis for the wintry outlook is that relatively cold winters in the United Kingdom and Ireland are more common when solar activity is low.
The findings follow on from one of the coldest winters experienced in Ireland and Britain in more than 45 years.
Using the Central England Temperature (CET) record, which dates back to mid-17th century, the research team said that average temperatures during recent winters had been markedly lower than the longer-term average.
According to the authors of the new report: “The mean CET for December, January and February for the recent relatively cold winters of 2008/09 and 2009/10 were 3.50C and 2.53C respectively. Whereas the mean value for the previous 20 winters had been 5.04C. The cluster of lower winter temperatures in the UK during the last three years had raised questions about the probability of more similar, or even colder, winters occurring in the future”.

Maybe as cold as this?
“INTENSE COLD IN EUROPE. FORTY-SIX DAYS FROST IN ENGLAND.
THE SEVEREST WEATHER OF THE CENTURY.
MANY PERSONS FROZEN TO DEATH.
LONDON, JAN. 9.
The frost in England has now continued for 40 days without intermission, and the weather has been the severest known for a century. On the continent, more particularly in the south of Europe, the cold continues intense, and numerous cases are reported of persons being frozen to death.”

“THE WINTER IN EUROPE. INTENSE COLD IN ENGLAND AND ON THE CONTINENT.
TRAFFIC DELAYED BY SNOWSTORMS.
THAMES AND SEINE FROZEN.
Intense cold is being experienced in England and on the Continent. Heavy snowstorms have occurred, and railway and other traffic is much delayed in consequence.”

“WINTER IN EUROPE. INTENSE COLD IN ENGLAND AND ON THE CONTINENT.
SNOWSTORMS AND BLIZZARDS. PEOPLE FROZEN TO DEATH.
GERMAN RIVERS BLOCKED BY ICE.
The present winter is proving one of the most severe that has been experienced for a considerable time past. Intense cold, accompanied by frequent blizzards, now prevails both in England and on the Continent. The cold has been especially severe in Vienna, where some fifty accidents have been reported. There have also been heavy snowstorms, which have to a great extent stopped railway and other traffic.”

It begs the question: How severe must global warming have been back in the 1890s to produce this much cold for 5 straight years?
It may suggest the question, but it doesn’t “beg” it. That refers to a circular argument.
..but wait – there’s more…
“SEVERE COLD IN LONDON. MANY DEATHS REPORTED.
Extremely cold weather is being experienced in London. Several deaths from exposure have been reported.”

Thank goodness for all those windmills. They’ll keep us warm and snug.
LOL. Like these ones:
“Wind farms produced ‘practically no electricity’ during Britain’s cold snap
Wind farms produced “practically no electricity” during the cold snap which manufacturers’ groups say could lead to severe winter energy shortages.”

LONG term overall cooling with short intermissions of milder weather (Warming). Of course that has only been going on for ,Maybe, 8000 years.
To be a real Climatologist I would have to say the pattern has existed for 7895.3785 years +/- 78.953 years as shown in the Latest and greatest models based on four trees found in the Sahara Desert! 8)
I think they grew there about that long ago.
“London Fire Brigade firefighters attended 163 flooding incidents in the last four days of November, a massive increase on 2007 and 2008 figures of the same period.
New figures revealed that flooding incidents have increased by 150 per cent in London due to frozen pipes bursting in the coldest start to a winter since records began. Firefighters attended 163 flooding incidents in the last four days of November, a massive increase on 2007 and 2008 figures of the same period.”
This has been a big problem in Britain the past two winters, apparently high CO2 makes their pipes brittle.
