January and Mid February.
Otherwise southwesterlies dominate. This leads me to suspect that the
coming winter will be normal or above, as I have published.
OK seasonal forecasting aided by numerical products has improved. But
you cant just wipe away a lot of serious hard work put in past century.
I've lost me duck!

I tend to agree with you on this one Paul, the pendulum is going to
swing back and forth. Maybe like 1987 when some decent wintry spells
occurred.
