Looking at the visible satellite image of Europe there is still much
snow on the ground over quite an extensive area, which is probably why
we don't really seem to be warming up atm. This is going to take some
time to shift and subsequently leave us with another below average
month as far as temperature is concerned. Springs a coming, but it's a
slow slog I'm afraid :-(
