Reading between the lines, when he wrote that I reckon by mid-January he
meant *the cold spell which we will have next week would lead to
subsequently (but not with a two week mild break in between!). From the
synoptic discussions that seemed to be kicking around at the time either the
HP was due to move north over Iceland/Greenland and/or the cold pool over
Europe would "flood" west. I may be wrong *but that was the general
impression I got. I mean this "patience Grasshopper" stuff could mean March!

I get the impression that Joe B pins his forecast entirely on the GFS
fantasy charts... And by hinting that the real cold my not hit until
March he's got a very good chance of being right as the first two
weeks of March are often colder than February. But, as everyone knows,
a cold spell then is hopeless for lowland Britain, at least in the
south...
