As a cricketer I detest cold springs, cant forget the first outdoor training session this year at the start of April had to be abandoned because of snow! I do get the feeling however looking globally what seems to be happening we are long overdue one of these outpourings of cold that seem to be happening in areas of the world that traditionally have mild winters, I think when we do cop one it will be spectacular. As we are told climate change will make extremes of weather more common, so our winter maybe become periods of extreme mild mixed with short sharp outbreaks of cold, yo-yo winters if you like.
