That 510dm line would be much colder if it were January

Richard, that is a bit of an oxymoron. A bit like saying that PS 10C
is (not feels) colder in the winter than in the summer.
Alright we are all a bit brassed off with another virtually snowless
winter so feel badly let down by the weather/fate/God/the Met Office and
the family cat.
Wasn't I lucky to be born in 1942 though? 21 in1963.
Best Wishes

I think you need to turn up the gain on your irony antenna.
Actually +10 is colder in the winter than the summer because it's
likely to be a maximum temperature whereas in the summer it is normally
something like a minimum and will occur in the wee small hours and not
require you to turn on the central heating. Also the 510 line is
colder in Jan than Feb or Mar because the lapse rate is likely to be
greater away from midwinter. As for being born in 1942 (which I was,
Nov 17, cards to . . . .) the things I'm glad I saw were the London
Smog of Dec 1952 and the phenomenal late-in-the-summer thunderstorm of
5 Sept 1958, with lightning the like of which I have never seen again.
As for snow, stuff it, it stops you getting out and there is a life
outside meteorology, believe me.
