So thats it for another winter. Here's to another mild winter.

Sorry, Gavin, but this sort of post in early January really annoys me.
No-one can forecast confidently beyond about a week ahead. You can make
an informed guess for the second week that is more likely to be right
than wrong, but beyond that nobody knows. There are plenty of cold GFS
ensemble members for Moscow in the second week (at least, there were
when I looked this morning), and although at present none of them show
that cold air being advected our way it could easily happen. No, it's
not likely, but it's certainly possible
