    January and February is when it normally gets cold here.

    People like to pretend that Christmas was a time of snow and ice, but that’s pretty rare. Dickens wrote about them, but his childhood coincided with the coldest decade in over a century.

      Lived in my city for 37 years. Never had a “brown Christmas” until this year. It has also been above freezing every day this winter. Not the norm.

      Mate what? You typically see -3 to maybe 7C. It’s 13-14C today it seems. That’s not normal.

      The warmest Christmas in UK history is 15C. Yesterday was the hottest Christmas eve since 1997. We won’t know until tomorrow if today is the hottest Christmas on record.

      Quit your climate change denial bullshit.
