Wee bit late, I'll try 7c.

It could not rain a drop until August and you'd still be at average...Been a crazy period of wet weather, think it will be a long time before we see the likes again. Have recorded wetter individual months before but never 3 such very wet ones in together. Autumn 2000 was probably wetter though.
Have received as much rain by the end of February as we did last year by early August. Past 3 years cumulative rainfall:

Every winter I've spent in Glasgow and not in Derbyshire. I'm sure this winter in the Peak District hasn't been bad as an average Glaswegian winter...

This week looks milder, but I doubt it'll do much harm in the grand scheme of things and at snow patch level there could still be accumulations of snow rather than rain.

If it was consistently cool then the CET would be below average. I'd say consistently mild more than anything.A 9.3c CET day doesn't seem outrageous, but it still seems very high, but most remarkable is how not a single day has been below 3c. I'm not sure how many winters record a CET day into double figures, but I doubt it's many.There have also been extremely mild temperatures, just not so much in the CET zone. Lerwick broke its December temperature record and there was a three day spell in Scotland where temperatures were constantly above 12c across the entire country, both day and night.That's quite remarkable - goes to show that very mild temperatures have been as absent as anything cold. Consistently "cool", I'd describe it as.To be fair last winter seemed not to dissimilar, just on an overall colder scale.

Was feeling warm in the sunshine when I was out just 40 minutes ago, now there's a covering of snow. Snow rather heavy.

Except if you're high enough, we have several times more snow than in any of those pictures, in our own country!If you suffer from jealousy then you'll look like this,

Tiree bottomed out at an impressive 948mB this afternoon. It doesn't even feel that notable anymore...

Facebook suggests snow now seems to be settling in the higher parts of Derbyshire and Staffordshire... can anyone confirm?

~800-1800m in the Alps is pretty much ideal. 2,500 hours of sun per year, average humidity in the daytime of less than 40%. The far south of the French Alps has the vast majority of its precipitation falling in the winter, mostly as snow. Nights reliably cool - into single figures. Never above 35c.

Snow still seems to be falling and laying above 500m in Derbyshire.

Annoying to narrowly miss an ice day - there could well be not a single one this winter!Cloudy and cold with periods of snow from 1030, much of it light but with two short spells of heavy snow; one this morning and another this afternoon. There was a temporary cover of snow on low ground after these heavier showers and here there's been lying snow from 1045. At 1800;Temp; 0.1cMax' today; 0.1cMin' last night; -0.5cGrass min; -0.6cRainfall from 0900-1800; 2.7 mmMean wind speed; 11 mph NEHighest gust today; 33 mph NE at 0537Sunshine today; 0.00 hrsSky obscured by fogContinuous light snowVis; 60 mtsMean depth of lying snow; 3cm. 100% cover.

Glasgow - snow falling thrice, on no occasion lying
Derbyshire - snow falling reasonably often, lying above 200m, never lasting more than 24 hours.

Greenland, St. Pierre et Miquelon and Heard and MacDonald Islands set all-time heat records, and these aren't part of Denmark, Metropolitan France and Australia respectively. Admittedly the definitions can get a little hazy. Technically, the Isle of Man is simply a dependency, rather than part, of the UK even though it's located between all four UK countries and meteorologically speaking probably quite representative.False. It includes countries and territories in BOTH cases.There aren't "hundreds" of territories in each country, you are confusing related territories (dependences or colonies) with provinces ,regions ,etc...These have nothing to do. Territories is meant for dependencies, Most of the countries have NONE. Few of them have some like for example the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Anguilla, Cayman Islands, Pitcairn, Montserrat , etc.... or for USA Guam, American Samoa, Northern Marianas,..... for France the French Guyana, the French Polynesia, Reunion, Mayotte, etc.... Anyway, in both cases countries and territories are included.The last 3 countries and/or territories to have beaten their official record of lowest temperatures are Egypt in 2008, Guinea in 2009 and Zambia in 2011.

September 2011-March 2012 were all, except February, 1.5c or more above the 61-90 average. And I wouldn't mind a repeat of spring 2012 given that I experienced my first blizzard in the UK that April (and 2013 was also great).A slow slide downwards for the foreseeable future, but nearing half way stage an above average month looks most likely and we could end up with an appreciably above average one which would be the 3rd such month out of 4 in a row - its a while since we will have seen three very mild months in the space of 4... probably have to go back to winter 07/08 or 06/07. During 1997- 2008 period we had become very accustomed to such spells, typical such a spell has resurfaced during winter period as opposed to spring-summer period. I'm hopeful winter 2014/2015 will feature much more wintry fayre during the first half than this one has, it has been a shocker so far for cold and snow. Payback for the cold snowy March and spring I wonder? Mother nature rebalancing herself out once again..

More substantial snow on the Cat & Fiddle webcam.

I wouldn't say that there were no extremely mild spells, although it's true that just one day was in the 10 warmest percentile. Lerwick had its highest ever December temperature and in Scotland, temperatures were routinely in the teens.
Definitely a notable month for its persistent mildness and it being so cyclonic - do we ever get a month's average of air pressure? I reckon December's would be one of the lowest ever.
-
December had 300mm of rain at Glasgow Bishopton, 400mm at Loch Glascarnoch. Pretty impressive totals.

Provisionally not a single CET day below average for the whole of December, perhaps?

I'm in a sheltered valley at 150m right now, but the wind'd have you believe you're on the tops. It's pretty ferocious.
