Snowier and stormier than this annoying year and I'll be happy, which shouldn't be hard to achieve since the bar is so low.

i think january and february will be below average. that's my only prediction for now.

If somehow in the name of Cambium’s ballsack every month is perfect in 2019 and record warm then this would happen. And I would still be disappointed with this climate.

I can not predict but what I wish is justice. During recent years western parts of Europe, be it somewhere in northern Scandinavia or somewhere in Austria have got more above average temperatures than the eastern parts. I mean especially on warm half of the year.

Warmer than normal, sunnier than normal, lots of thunderstorms and convective precipitation. If it's cold, then some decent snow to go with it.

I'd also like to see our dew point hit 25ºC this summer. Hasn't happened since 2015.
