Scotland mean for Dec/Jan +0.3 C. This is the coldest t his century beating
all other cold years - amazing. Not quite as cold for England and Wales but
still as we thought - coldest since 1981/82.

Yes well spotted my mistake
Coldest for a century and probably since 1900 or before. Anyone like to
elaborate on this???

I also think in terms of mean
temperature there will be some distinct Regional variations with the colder
than average values being skewed to the West whereas East Anglia, say, will
be cold but not extremely so.

Not too much sign of that in the temperatures for 1st-25th on Philip's
site:

Northern Scotland is relatively less cold, but apart from that all
regions have anomalies between -2.3C (E Scotland) and -3.1C (SW
England). East Anglia comes in at -2.6C.

I'm surprised it's showing up as being colder than Dec81/Jan 82 Rob, the
mean in this area then was -0.6ºC for those two months combined... Whereas
for Dec09/Jan10 it's very likely to be -0.0ºC.
Dec39/Jan40 was probably also lower than this value, but no others were
negative during the December+January period.
See my latest post [WR] hard frost, negative January in Wishaw for more
historical perspective.
