Yes, but the whole scenario the last 72 hours has been 'borderline'.
Remembering the charts of the 60's and 70's, Denmark and Germany were always
down to the ms 10 to ms 20 mark during Jan and Feb.


I think "always" is a slight exaggeration.

Even in this cold snap
they have barly been into day frost's. Where was the 510 dm line when you
needed it?


Isn't it supposed to be flirting with the east coast next Sunday/Monday?

It used to creep in from the east. We used to have easterly gales
with day maxs on the E coast of ms 04 (even in Devon once in the early
90's). Even with the almost 'perfect' set up, easterlies from Russia, its
only wet snow.


I'm not sure that the source of the air has actually been as far away as
Russia.
