After the blandest winter* I've experienced since 1989/90 (no snow
here...) maybe it's time to look ahead and the three GFS runs today
all seem to suggest more blocked, anticyclonic weather for the 5th of
March. Two runs suggest warm S/SE but one suggests perhaps cold
easterly. Whatever, it'll be a lot better than what we have at the
moment...

* maybe this could be quantified? Each day could be rated:
snow lying: +3, ground frost: +2, max temps 1 below normal +1, max
temps 1 above normal -1, max temps 3 above normal -2, max temps 3
AND overcast/wet -3.
