Did look like we may get the first cold February since 1996, but that's
out of the window now so mild or very mild Februaries continue, this will
be 14 consecutive now.
Still if Feb turns out to be around average or just above, this winter
will be the coldest since 1996, however if the atlantic really kicks in
and February is mild, the Winter will end up no colder than 2009.

Mild or VERY mild? Bold statement at this stage Graham.
Damn, I wish I could underline words on newsgroups lol.
I acknowledge the fact that you also think it could turn out to be average
or just above too. Average is always my safe bet.

February would have to have a mean of +9.5ºC, for the current winter to be
milder than 2008/2009 in this part of Scotland.
Now that's what I'd call silly. If that happened I would believe in global
warming over climate change... Over six degrees departure from normal over a
whole month, who ever heard the likes in the UK....

Weather, you've got to love it. Even if sometimes you hate it as well.
