Is it now time to write off the first half of winter 2012/13 as a hideous, damp, Atlantic-dominated gloomfest? Is there any hope whatsoever of anything even passably pleasant (read: dry, don't care about the temperature) before late January? Seems January will be the 10th consecutive unsettled month according to that forecast. It seems possible now that April 2012-March 2013 will be possibly the wettest 12-month on record, unless Feb and March are extremely dry. It's the shortest day on Friday but with that forecast I suspect it'll be February before we notice the afternoons getting even slightly lighter. Nick Don't be silly. There's "massive uncertainty" this weekend, next weekend, some other weekend anway, with cold air undercuts and a huge possibility of a snowflake somewhere. It's well known, obvious, almost certain, maybe. *)) How long was that on the charts? One run, or two?
