We have now had one day of "decent" weather since Christmas. Almost
every day bar last Sunday has been dire with it barely getting light
during the day. I can't wait for the change to come next week so long as
it brings some clear skies. I'm not bothered about a cold spell anymore
as that looks as far off as ever but the promise of normal High Pressure
next week is welcome. This is why I prefer cold to mild - because there
is less chance of it being like this!

Thirded - this is the kind of winter weather that I hate.... mild damp and
dreary.

Fourthed. Gloom, pervading damp, and oppressive humidity are the three
reasons (in order) why I'm hoping this changes soon, and, to be
honest, why in most years, in our climate, January is one of my least
favourite months. Thankfully by next week we'll be more than half way
through it. Bring on the snow, but if not, bring on the spring!

Hard to argue against that presently with +10.4°C and continuous light to
moderate rain. It's grim.

Aside from the wind, I'm rather thankful for it. I have a 200km bike
ride this coming weekend, and it's much easier to spend 10 hours on a
bike when it's 10C than when it's 0C. The dull, wet conditions are
largely immaterial - I'll be riding in the dark for the first two hours!

The recent high rainfall means a lot of the Norfolk lanes will be Skoggy
in the extreme, so that'll be fun.

There are ways to enjoy mild weather.

Yep. The dreaded most awful very mild Sw'ly weather type in winter. A mild
snap. Not long to wait now till the 18th when the skies will brighten and we
will get some lovely cold dry air back (sub 528 DAM in places in the north).
Soon after we will get the bitter cold in and eventually the snow. Yes I
know models don't indicate quite that, but they are all over the place as I
expected. I go no further than 5 days at present - max. After that it's a
dynamical appraisal!

Somebody said to me that a higher proportion of suicides occur midweek
in the middle of January. Looking out of the window it really is no
surprise. January probably has to be my most least favourite time of
year - having this dreadful mild murk as well is just the icing on the
cake...

I tend to hunker down and get on with indoor things during horrible mild
snaps in winter!
Wind is now howling outside :-)
