So the pattern counties then, Cold, Mild, Cool, Mild ,Colder 15th,16th then mild with a possibility of something colder. Current CET For January 8.13c 3.97c above average yes its only 9 days of January at this rate unless something colder comes along records could be broken.
And what wonderful news that is. The CET above average is an absolute blessing to the many thousands who are struggling with their energy bills. Let's hope the rest of winter carries on in the same manner.

I don’t see that as a valid point, there have been a good number of fine bank holidays in recent years whether Easter, May or August.
Historically, it's always been a joking point about rain on bank Holidays and there have obviously been plenty of dire ones in the past so the point is perfectly valid.

Again, as it is currently almost 2 weeks away, it has 0% chance of verifying and that will not happen, people need to stop posting day 10 charts, they are different on every single run, it’s tiresome and pointless reading comments on charts which never verify
So what you're saying is that no 10 day chart has ever verified (0%) and that we shouldn't be looking at the models full stop as a guide to what might happen in the near future and commenting about it on a model discussion forum on a weather website. Brilliant logic, thanks for that.

Oh dear exceptionally quiet in here today, but perhaps not surprising given the outlook looks fairly standard late winter/early spring fayre. Atlantic gaining a foothold again wettest further north and west becoming mild as well. Not much else to say.
It's a shame that it goes so quiet- such knowledgeable people on here only seem interested in potential severe cold/extremes of weather. Seems a waste of expertise tbh

Evening all,ECM 12z shows the battle nicely between the Atlantic and cold continental air from the high pressure,still twist’s and turns to come.Always difficult for the chart’s to be precise especially with the orientation of the high and how fast the movement east northeast,one to keep an eye on nothing set in stone yet latter part of weekend should rubber stamp it.
Hmm which way will it go, all very interesting. One thing is for sure, the "i told you so" the "never really on board with it" and model bashing posters will be counting down the days.

And yet much of Central and Northern England had falling and in places, lying snow just yesterday? There is also the prospect for (probably temporary) snow cover from mid week.
That doesn't count in this South East appreciation society thread.

For snowfall, rather than just Scotland. (Usual spots)
Storm Arwen produced an unexpected decent covering for my neck of the woods so there could be some surprises.

If the winter peters out without a decent snowy spell , surely next year
Last winter seemed a classic teaser affair, not this.

Very good compared to the usual mild Atlantic gunk we have in January but also very frustrating for cold snow lovers as a nudge further west and north would have meant a locked in cold spell with possible bursts of snow from the north. Alas not meant to be.. however I think we'll look back at Jan 2022 quite fondly in future Januaries when under relentless mild Atlantic wet air.
Indeed a spell of not too disruptive snow would be my first choice but this current spell of weather is a definite contender for next best thing.

Baffling to me the amount of people calling this persistent high pressure boring and some even going as far as wishing for a raging Atlantic instead. Guess I'm just a weirdo for liking frosty mornings, beautiful blue skies and crisp winter sunshine. Oh well I'm sure the UK will be back to it's default zonal setting before long and you can raise a toast to those dartboard lows lol.

Those events were poor. The event in November was historic though, 10ft drifts, 70mph blizzards etc.
It's all relative. I was merely replying to the guy from Sheffield who posted that there had been zero cold in our region so far this winter and that simply hasn't been the case. Forget what might/could or has been in years gone by, this winter compared to many feels quite seasonal. There have been many winters round here where I've not even had to de-ice the car so from that point of view this winter is doing alright imo. Cheers

Very much about location and Altitude Mariescb. For those down south on low ground their universe has been very different..
Oh yes absolutely but the guy I quoted is from my neck of the woods or so his tag says lol. Is your universe ever that different on the south coast in winter tho, I have family in Bournemouth and they rarely get much severe winter weather.

This Winter is turning rapidly into a shocker, not even a hint of anything remotely cold. Just hope and pray no Summer heatwaves to come, that would be misery on misery!
I must live in a parallel universe because so far this winter we've had snow falling and a good covering 3 times plus several hard frosts, beautiful crisp winter sunshine and some chilly wrap up warm days. Nothing remotely extreme but that's a rarity in this country anyway.

With respect there are many things in life that make us feel angry and frustrated but weather shouldn't be one of them. At least boring weather means there is no threat of flooding, wind damage, power cuts and burst water pipes etc - surely they're the sort of things that make people angry and frustrated.

If we can’t get snow, this high pressure spell suits me fine. Settled, cool/cold, a few pea soupers thrown in for good measure. That’s not too bad, and for me better than wind and rain.
Let’s see how long this GFS easterly teases us. Could be the start of another chase….
Absolutely. Currently -1 where I am with no wind, gorgeous blue sky and the ground is white with hard frost. What's not to love, beautiful winter winter.

You know when people see a good chance of cold developing and tell their friends/family and that in turn jinxes it? Well we all need to scream from the rooftops that it's nailed on for NO serious cold in the next few weeks, see if it works in reverse.

Until we loose some polar vortex strength & erode some of the Iberian heights, I'd say the pattern shown is unlikeky to deliver.
It's such a shame that the failed chrimbo cold seems to has been a bitter pill to swallow for you. Your once enthusiastic and glass half full posts have been watered down just lately. Bring back the old Kasim, we miss you!

I never write winter off until early March.
For me, March 1st is the big turning point from the winter into spring. Still a good 6 or so weeks to go before then.
Even with the slight increase in daylight, it’s still a long process until we start to see and feel the benefits of longer daylight hours. February is another dismal month, apart from if we get a springlike snap, but even then it’s still dark at 5.30.
Agreed. That's why I always question people when they say winter is now over because the sun is gaining strength - it matters not under the right conditions.

Think people need to lower their expectations of a uk winter these days. Compared to the crud we often have to endure, well I think it's pretty seasonal out there. A long long way from a big freeze but certainly not mild like the local bbc forcaster was ramping about at lunchtime. Definitely hat and gloves weather and quite acceptable imo. And yes before anyone says anything, I grew up in the late 70s/early 80s so I'm well aware of what severe cold snaps can look like. Regards

Look I know it's very far from a big freeze out there but it's pretty nippy waiting for kids to finish school, wish I'd put hat and gloves on. So what on earth was Paul Hudson going on about at lunchtime about how mild it is, didn't even say relatively mild. He and Darren Bett must be best buddies

So a milder winter in the face of crippling heating bills is disgusting? Are you actually for real!
It's one thing to have preferences and to love studying about the weather and trying to unpick all its complexities but some perspective has to be applied, even in a model forum.
