Today's max of 8.9C is the highest since Boxing Day. The last maximum in
double figures was December 10th so you could make a case for the cool
spell starting then and continuing. So far , rather than remembering this
winter for extreme cold, I will remember it for its complete lack of any
truly mild spells.

Me too. I haven't recorded a temp in double figures since 09/12/2009 and
looking at the GFS ensemble it's not going to happen for quite a while.

Surprisingly to most perhaps, it reached +10.0ºC in Wishaw on January 27th.
Even the very cold winter we're having in the central lowlands has had a few
milder days. The long term average winter max here is 6.0ºC, which has been
exceeded six times since December 10th (five in the second half of January
and one today)
There's only been 2 days without a groundfrost since December the 7th mind
you.
