Coldest Winters

Boxing Day was milder although the daily average was below zero again. There is talk of this being the coldest winter since 1890. I’m sure in some areas of the country this will be the case. I’ve listed below the coldest ten Decembers based on CET data. Our Ossett average up to the 26th December is -0.31°C placing this December 2nd in the listing. With milder weather forecast I expect the average to increase so perhaps it might finish up the 6th coldest December since 1772 and the coldest since 1890. Only time and the weather will tell.

This December is going to be a real test of hardiness for our banana plant currently beneath a deep layer of straw.
