Info Post
From It's Grim Up North:

The recent trend of chilly winters has continued, with figures showing that this season has been the fourth in the last five years to be colder than average. As the 2012/13 winter draws to a close, Met Office statistics for the UK revealed the season was 0.4C cooler than mean temperatures.

Over the last five years, only last winter saw the mercury rise above the 3.3C (38F) average - taken from 30 years of statistics from 1981. The Met Office news blog said: "For the winter as a whole, the UK mean temperature of 3.3C makes it milder than 2008/09 (3.2C/37.8F), 2009/10 (1.6C/34.9F) and 2010/11 (2.4C/36.3F), but colder than 2011/12 (4.6C/40.3F).


All in all, I preferred global warming (like in the late 1990s, early 2000s) when everybody's lawn died in the summer, it was a small price and one worth paying.

UPDATE: Sobers says it's all something to do with the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation. Or perhaps this is the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation.
