All over media weather forecasts I keep hearing about "relief" on the way

OK we will certainly lose the easterly but from the Midlands northwards is
it really going to get much milder after we lose the sun and still stay in
relatively deep cold air? I think not. I also heard today on R4 the
presenter saying she is "looking forward" to the milder weather next week.
What she does not realise is that in the south at least there is the
potential for a lot of wind and rain and for the north more snow. I know
this easterly is far too cold for many because of the low wet-bulb
temperatures, but at least it is mainly bone dry and one can get out and do
things, unless you have deep snow cover which the majority don't have. The
one consolation for wet is that plant growth will start in eaernest and it
won't rain all the time.
I guess what a lot of people really want is a summery Azores high and we
ain't going to get that, it is going to be a long process of warming up with
the jet still way far south. Keep the expectation down, deep cold air will
never be far away in the next two weeks.

Yes; "relief".
The presenters are representing a *huge* majority of people in the UK who are sick of the cold for this winter. You aren't. It's as simple as that.
