If global warming IS happening then we can expect more of this in this country as we'll get warmer wetter winters.
14 degrees here in the Peak District today at the end of December is fairly un-heard of. It's hard to think anything else about warming to even the most sceptical, I do think weather patterns are definately changing, winds are stronger and we have more downpours, I've noticed it as I work outside. We're still coming out of the ice age so we're always going to get warmer but I do think we're accelerating it globally. That said the winter about 4 yrs ago we had -18 in November and 20 inches of snow here so who knows, it seems weather is getting more extreme to me.
