  1. I’m calling this ‘winter’ over. And what a sorry joke it’s been.

    Rating (out of 10) ZERO

    No snow...few frosts..,too much rain resulting in tediously repetitive waterlogging/surface water flooding episodes (I’ve lost count how many times since November) Afraid Atlantic storms don’t do it for me, damaging winds and a sharp rise in flood warnings was the result, so nope..not for me...so it’s a big fat zero and roll on Spring.

    I think Tuesday is looking the most interesting day for seeing snow showers, hard to put details down but that's the day where the peak of the upper air temperatures will occur. As usual with the Irish Sea, showers tend to be small and isolated unlike what the Atlantic and North Sea can produce so some places may miss out on any shower activity. 

    Be nice to see falling snow for the first time this season. No chance of it settling unfortunately thanks to everywhere being waterlogged for the umpteenth time since November!!

    "Harsh" frost across the south last night - between 0 and -4..

    You have to laugh! What a pathetic winter so far. 

    Harsh frost? 
     

    And to think that somehow those of us who were around at the time survived -25 temperatures in 1981/82. How times have changed!

    I see the cold coven are predictable getting a tad emotive at the likely demise of the settled spell and a return to wet and windy

    Absolutely, I’ve still got pools of water at the bottom of my garden dating back to November. Ground is still so saturated that it only needs modest rainfall to flood my driveway and turn the surrounding fields into Vietnamese rice paddies, Suffice to say, the novelty of looking out at floodwater wore off months ago.

    Of course, I called Jan as a dead duck weeks ago, i held out hope for Feb but the first of Feb now looks a complete write off.

    The most wretched winter i can ever recall and i'm not far off 50 now.

    One of the decreasing number of straws we have left to clutch is AMO ,we are due to see a switch in the next decade, or so i believe.

    In a way this non-winter is even worse than the non-winter of 2013/14. At least in that one, the Scottish ski resorts had a huge dumping of snow. This one however has been a real dog egg.

    Do you mean 1983/84, that delivered alot of cold zonality in January and to a lesser extent February, Dec 83 was mild throughout. Winter 84/85 brought a very cold Jan and Feb, after a rather mild December, indeed there were four winters in a row which saw a turnaround just after christmas, 1983, 1984, 1985 - although the cold didn't properly kick in until end Jan, 1986.

     

    I stand corrected. You’re right. Damn I must be getting old!

  7. Best :

    1978/79 Epic blizzard on New Years Eve 1978 and a very snowy January 1979

    1981/82 Extremely cold weather in December 1981 and January 1982. Again very snowy.

    1984/85 Genuine cold zonality delivering a lot of snow.

    2009/10 Bitterly cold, technical white Christmas, clear sunny skies but with deep snow cover.

     

    Worst :

    2013/14 Hideous non winter with relentless flooding rains and damaging winds. No snow fell at all, no frosts and very little sunshine. An absolute abomination of a season - if there is ever to be a winter which is worse than that one, I genuinely hope I don’t live to see it.

    2019/20 : I know it’s only mid January but this ‘winter’ has up to now completely failed to deliver anything, with no real sign of  wintry weather on the horizon. Wet and mild muck has been near relentless. Hateful.

  8. Couldn’t care less about snow right now.

     

    Primary concern is that things dry out...lost count how many times I’ve thought or said those words aloud over the past few months.

    Everywhere saturated and waterlogged yet again. Tedious and tiresome doesn’t begin to describe it. Just want Spring now. I’m done with this mud fest crud.
