The winter of A.D. 2007/2008 came in like a lion, but the last 10 days have been more like a lamb. Since A.D. 2007 December 22 we've had 0 days with high temperatures at or below 0 degrees C. The first 22 days of December saw 21 days with high temperatures at or below that mark. The next three days promise to be the coldest days of the season to date, but we are forecast to have at least a week with temperatures from 5 to 10 degrees C. above normal after that. More and more this year is shaping up to be like A.D. 2005/2006. I just hope that cold temperatures return before February 06!
