But would you really call this late November weather we have "exceptionally cold"? I mean really?
If someone nails their colours to the mast with an exact time period and uses the words "exceptionally cold" then that is what it has to be judged by. Were this statement worded less specifically then we could and should allow rather more latitude. However, the characteristic outlook for the next few days is that it is looking rather unsettled with fairly average ranges of temperature, so let's re-visit it in a couple of weeks and see if we can call the start of December "exceptionally cold".
