It seems that crisp clear winter High Pressures are less common these
days. It has been a gloriously sunny winter here in S.Essex but a lot of
the time this has been from ridges and in between fronts and also with
NW'lies although it has to be said it has been a HP dominated winter to
a large extent so that statement is a bit contradictory I suppose. The
current HP however is more typical of those of last January and February
that produced weeks of thick cloud and grey skies. What I certainly
haven't had for a few years is Scandinavian HP that produces clear blue
skies interceded with sudden darkeneing and CU from the North Sea
leading to intermittent but hefty snow showers before returning to the
blue skies.

Isn't this more to do with the ability of the sun to burn off all this
mist and low cloud. Would have thought that given another couple of
weeks the present set-up would be much sunnier?
Nevertheless I hear what you're saying, it is annoying - and puzzling
that with the ground so dry there's still a problem with mist a low
cloud in the morning. I would have thought that

I'd expect to get a few like this at this time of year but not like two
months worth last year and none of the other type I mentioned.

Was 1445z before I saw any sun today - sky cleared to milky haze as I
reached the Bow area on the bike - so sunshine seems to have shifted
even further west today...

Well seeing that any observation on the weather synoptics seems like a
moan to you here's another one. Everyone on here had hoped you'd
buggered off with your mate Dawlish but we couldn't be that lucky I guess.

Think peaceful thoughts Dave: enjoy the calm that has swept over the group.
