old yorkshire saying: "if the ice before christmas will bear a duck, there'll be nowt to come after but slush and muck"

 

Meaning hard winters usually start mild and mild ones may start hard.

What happened last year? I remember the whole winter as being very mild, maybe it wasn't.

 

I think most of these old sayings are bollocks really. Although Many of the really hard winters over the years have started out mild.

[Mark Bolam]

That's because it's August Tom.

Most or quite probably all the old sayings are balls I reckon, Made up before we had the telly. I had a customer last year who only has 1 load of logs a year from me , had 3 loads because he reckoned it was going to be a very cold year because their was loads of blackberries. Mildest winter ive ever known.

I know it was an exceptionally mild winter last season as i recorded only 1 single air frost! and my runner beans survived being out in open ground as the roots lived on and i had a bumper harvest this year!

(Maybe an increasing el-nino event will chuck a spanner in the works this winter and disrupt something called the "polar vortex" which when displaced, via a stronger el-nino event, "CAN" bring about entrenched northern blocking with a shift to an east to west pattern along our UK latitude of continental and/or arctic air for prolonged periods but in all honesty i'm contemplating southerly tracking jet streams running Atlantic fronts up against stubborn high pressure to our north east which ,as like the 70's & 80's, allows heavy drifting snowfalls favoring the more east & north areas of the UK?)
