So one thing I have learnt from reading in here and very rarely ever posting, is how fast stuff can turn around, and fly in the face of all predictions, likelihoods and background signals. For example, only the day before these mammoth northerly and Greenland blocking suddenly appeared, a lot of posts were saying the best change won't come before last week if Jan or Feb and wait it out a few weeks, then suddenly it all went crazy exciting. So even if this attempt is ultimately watered down or a slight disappointment, it was great observing, bit of a snow here and there and it can easily suddenly materialise again in a week or two again out of nowhere. It's why we love British weather.
