    The big difference this year compared to recent ones is the synoptics are backed up by very cold uppers!! Seem to remember 2 years ago where symoptics delivered but the uppers were very poor! In comparison look at the attached from GEM (albeit 10 days out)

    Yes, in past years including last winter there was the ever present russian high which pushed warm air into eastern europe and scandi

    Not far off Feb 2019 territory now. If that spell hadn't lifted the bar so high, I'd be suggesting this one might be record-breaking. How ironic in such a cold winter, the records under most threat might still be mild ones! Such is winter these days!

    It's going to feel like summer after the recent cold - nearly 20C increase on this weekend. That's a stunning and highly unusual change in this part of the world.

    Nevertheless, this is still a way off, and ridging from the south of this kinds sometimes fails to make the whole journey to the UK.

    Yet a week ago we were all wishing for something closer to Feb 2018, but here we are and Feb 2019 is certainly looking more akin to the current model output. I still don't think this is the end of winter, no one starts packing their fans and AC units in the middle of August.

  3. I think the issue is more the lack/intensity of the showers than the sun, considering the BFTE happened right at the end of Feb and we all had a lot more accumulating then. Of course I know there was melt in the sun but not on this level. Also the air being less cold directly affecting the melt doesn't seem the main cause as the uppers are more than impressive for the UK, severe in fact.
