Cold spell should be renamed

    so now that this cold spell has gone on for more than a week or two and looks set to continue, I suggest a radical reform to the nomenclature. I vaguely remember an archaic term people used to use long long ago when I was young for when the weather was cold and precipitous over a protracted time period. I could be mistaken but I think the word was win-ter.

    I move that we now refer to this strange batch of non-grey weather hereforth as winter and petition others to do the same. Who's with me ?

    The recession has taken the name Stephen. I suggest Jennifer for the cold spell.

    It used to be a cold snap, then it was a cold spell - give it another decade and it'll be a cold phase followed by a cold age.

    After that, we'll just start calling it summer.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    We should name the cold spells in aid of SSF. Auction off the naming rights.

    It's natures way of telling AGW supporters they're talking shiite, a bit like the Islamic weather we're having, sometimes sunni but mostly shiite!

    Right back atcha ;)

    Taken off our great friend, Wikipedia but I'm sure the weather folks will back me up...please?
    Meteorological winter is the season having the shortest days and the lowest average temperatures, which have the coldest weather. This corresponds to the months of December, January and February in the Northern Hemisphere, and June, July and August in the Southern Hemisphere.

    edit: I suppose I should include this for fairness and all that lark...
    This system of seasons is based on the length of days exclusively. (The three-month period of the shortest days and weakest solar radiation occurs during November, December, and January in the Northern Hemisphere and May through July in the Southern Hemisphere.)
