Default Have we had two months like this before in mid-winter?

I certainly can't recall such relentlessly similar charts since I've
been looking at computer models over the last 10 years. The thing
that strikes me is the small variation in the tracks of the lows. Apart
from zero cold snaps (or even hints at them in future charts) there
haven't been any brief northerlies or north westerlies which
usually occur during the odd transitional phase.

I think you might have to go back to 1962-3 to find a winter as
remarkable as this one, for southern England at least. Of course 1962-3
was remarkable in a very different way. I can't remember another winter
with such frequent or (for the most part) deep depressions affecting us.
