Coldest winter in UK for 13 years
The UK had its coldest winter for 13 years, bucking a recent trend of mild temperatures, the Met Office has said.
The average mean temperature across December, January and February was 3.1C - the lowest since the winter beginning in 1995, which averaged 2.5C.
February started very cold as the heaviest snowfall for 18 years swept in, but temperatures ended up average.
Peter Stott, of the Met Office, said despite this year's chill, the trend to milder, wetter winters would continue.
He said snow and frost would become less of a feature in the future.
"The famously cold winter of 1962/63 is now expected to occur about once every 1,000 years or more, compared with approximately every 100 or 200 years before 1850," he said.

Now how in the heck do they know that...fools
it’s getting colder, but since it’s getting warmer, it’s not as cold as it would be.
Does anyone follow this logic?
The same way that Obama will tell us how he has “saved” 3 million jobs.
kinda like when Obama promises to save 3 million jobs. If there are only 3 million jobs left in the economy then those must be the jobs that he saved.
LOL! I guess so!
