Severe Weather Warning Issued For Winter 2011-12

Dai, if you're the only one left after the end of the world please switch the light off when you leave.:D

 

I'm not sure I lay all that much faith in the original forecaster's prophecy, especially as I haven't seen an accurate short range forecast, never mind a long range one, for a long time.
Also he makes a play on the Icelandic volcano eruptions affecting the UK weather relatively long term, whereas surely, according to the met charts the dust will have been swept eastwards, not hovering over the UK. If he was making the Icelandic volcanoes an element of his forecast surely he should have included all the global volcanoes and their eruptions, because of their effect on the global weather and therefore the UK weather?

It doesn't make sense to not think the Winters in the UK are going to be bad and consequently make whatever precautions you can to protect yourself and the garden from the effects. Having said that despite what I thought to be adequate precautions to protect plants in the garden I lost some treasured and long lived plants during the last Winter. Has anyone got any spare pine cones and strands of seaweed??
