What at 300z + hours?...I don't even bother looking at the GFS anymore.
Jam tomorrow charts which never verify are one of the hallmarks of a crap winter.
Soon you’ll be reading posts like ‘February is often the coldest month’ ‘Plenty of time yet’
Then once March arrives, references to March 2013...until finally defeat is conceded.

Is it too early to chuck January in the bin and pin our slowly fading hopes on February yet?

Classic +NAO pattern..Raging Polar Vortex, persistent Euro heights. I’ll not go so far as to say winter is over (could be argued that it hasn’t even started yet) but I for one would be prepared to chuck January in the bin. Once this pattern establishes, it has a nasty tendency to lock in for a number of weeks.

Lovely day today. Here's hoping this weather continues so things can dry out a bit
Here here...gloriously sunny with clear blue skies after an overnight frost.
Best of it is that my driveway and garden are clear of water for the first time in over two months.

I think you need to be corrected on that. My uncle tells me(sorry I have to refer to my uncle time and time again, he was born in 1948) the winters of the 1970s were mild and damp, and even winters of the 80s were disappointing. 1980/81 had very little snow, and 82/83 was very disappointing from a southeast perspective.
1974/75 was another terrible winter for lack of snow.
People seem to also forget, that up until 6 years ago, we had experienced some of the coldest winter spells since the 1978/79 and even as far back as 1910.
Ugh..still traumatised by the winter of 1974/75. Was genuinely rank. We had more snow in October of 1974 than in the entire winter which followed.

Spring like at the weekend a bit of rain in the far north west. Elsewhere lots of sunshine with a light breeze from the southwest and temps getting towards the mid teens.
The one positive to come from that is that it will help us dry out.

Blue skies and sunshine...for a change! Feels like a day in March, seeing the daffodils sprouting out of the ground doesn’t help!
Meh!

One thing I have always found very odd in this forum is the apparent lack of interest in the weather, and in particular synoptic meteorology, unless cold and snow are on the menu. If that is missing everything else is dross
I for one am not thinking of cold or snow. My primary concerns are...’when is it going to stop raining’ and ‘when will the floodwaters go away’
It can be as mild as it likes for the next few weeks, all I and I suspect the majority of forumites care about right now is that it stops raining, and soon. We’ve had this rotten wet weather for months now, and to say that we’re fed up of it is the understatement of the year.

Or watching paint dry! Searching for cold at the moment is almost like looking for it in July!
Or watching the grass grow, which could well happen if temperatures do indeed rise as high as 14c!

Thunderstorm warning covering South and SW Wales from 5am tomorrow until 1pm.What month is it again?

Not bad for the time of year
All too familiar with how that scenario plays out. The west facing hills get a real orographic drenching while areas such as mine in the rain shadow get spits and spots in the wind, alternating with odd glimpses of the sun. The most notable thing by far though being just how mild it feels...positively springlike!

Personally if we can’t get any decent cold and snow I’d much rather see some deep Atlantic storms with severe gales, at least for me that’s exciting
No thanks. Bad enough that we’ve got flooding to contend with. Structural damage on top of that accompanied by even more rain (which we’ve had too much of already) would push many people over the edge..

7.9Persistent long fetch South westerlies, very wet in the North West - one notable ‘atmospheric river’ event impacting SW Scotland and NW England..drier in the South and East. A duller than average month. Snowless.

Past few days have been utterly wretched for me being an SAD sufferer.
Dreary, damp, dismal crap.
Will be glad when it ends.

BBC weather app (for what it’s worth) shows my part of the world getting a day of sleet with maximum temperatures of 3c.
Sleet/Snow at 200m upwards.

Rain finally stopped after nearly 27 hours.Pretty bad waterlogging of fields and surface water flooding of roads.

No thanks. Stormy weather is more often than not accompanied by lots of rain, which would be as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit after the ridiculously wet spell we recently endured.
