Yes but even the UKMO buggers it as soon as 120 now, no U-turn now I'm afraid, we both might see lying snow next week but -6c uppers and 2 inches of slush doesn't cut it anymore, the last solar minimum raised the bar.

So close.....but yet so far.....gutted!!...at least i enjoyed those charts for a couple of days!!!

Don't worry, some folk were very bold in proclaiming Winter was over in December etc. and we won't see any cold before Februaary etc. Others held back from making those assumptions and its these type of equally brave people whom I have always listened to and will continue to. Nevertheless the global climate is a complex system and Mother Nature always has the upper hand. We simply cannot fathom the unfathomable in my opinion but we do love to try and I applaud those who do just that. 

I couldn't have put it better myself!!..thankyou for taking the time to reply!!..i look forward to logging on tomorrow after I've awoken from my post night shift slumber...here's hoping that there's more of the same to read!!

Forgive my upcoming 'lack of knowledge' question...i'm a regular reader of all the posts on this great forum..and for the past few days/weeks/months..all i've read is how this wet,windy and mild rut was set to continue forever....what has suddenly turned the charts 'on their head' so to speak???!!...i have limited knowledge but i enjoy viewing the model outputs!!....ps - i'm a secret coldie...hoping we all get some decent cold but i'm not holding my breath!!...regards to all !
