I take it the January cold spell is off the agenda then, for the south
at least, although to me it looks like quite sudden shifts could still
take place which would explain the all round uncertainty It seems that
UKMO are concentrating on February. More jam tomorrow? Shame the
frosty highs couldn't have kept going a bit longer.


Dave was there ever a cold spell on the agenda, after all it is only mid
winter
January will end up another very mild winter month and I can see
February going the same way.
If I remember didn't the warmest winter on record (2007) follow the
warmest autumn (2006) on record.
The April that followed that lot was one of the best ever, warmest on
record at the time with over 200 sun hours, only bettered by April 2011
So spring may not be that bad.
Maybe the 2nd warmest Autumn on record (2011) is going to be followed by
the 2nd warmest Winter on record??
If we get another April like 2007 or 2011, I don't mind at all

Not really in my opinion Graham although one is always mooted on here at
some stage by quite a few of us - after all it is winter! I think given
my location it would be quite unusual to have two consecutive calendar
years with no snow lying , which could happen should we have a mild
November and December this year.
