At long last A High of significance - had a quick look back at my pressure
readings this year and today has seen the highest pressure in Leeds since
17 March. It's now 1038mb and still rising.

Is this really surprising, though?
In terms of pressure readings isn't a winter anticyclone likely to be more
'intense' than a summer one?

I wouldn't quite call this winter yet - mind you, the temperature did
drop to 4.6C last night...
