  1. As I've got a road trip around northwestern Scotland at the end of Feb, I'm hoping to see at least SOME snow! But I wouldn't mind some ridiculous warmth like we had last year.
  2. Yep, it's not the lack of snow that makes this winter so awful, it's just that it's so non-descript. People recall 2013/14 because of just how stormy it was. But other than constant slate grey skies and diurnal ranges of 2-3c, I am struggling to think of one feature to remember this winter by. It really has been a nothing season. Bring on the first high-teens temperatures of March.
  3. Ah wasn't aware, not had much to do with Simon but met him a couple of times. In which case, I'll upgrade my "bit harsh" to completely uncalled for.
  4. Just had a flash of lightning and a rumble of thunder at the office. So this winter hasn't mustered up any snow, but has managed lightning. Alright!
  5. I'm not a huge summer fan but even I'm clamouring for the first pleasantly warm spring days now. You just know it will go annoyingly and pointlessly cold late March and early April though
  6. I think this non-descript week may just help 2019/20 clinch the title of worst winter I've ever had the misfortune to experience, unless February pulls a miracle out of its backside.
  7. Well, there certainly won't be any water shortages this summer in the UK!
  8. Pretty much every aspect of that is wrong, impressive!
  9. It ACTUALLY feels like winter this morning. Blimey. Who'd have thought it.
  10. December 2010 by a country mile, I genuinely don't think we'll see a month like it again. A good second is December 2015, the warmth in that month was extraordinary.
  11. I think that's partly why this winter has been so awful all round. If we can't get snow, a cold high pressure would be nice as at least we'd get sunshine. If we can't even get that, then at least be stormy - something interesting. This mild, drab rubbish suits nobody.
  12. If you're unhappy with the moans about this winter, I suggest you steer clear of a thread dedicated to moans about this winter.
  13. If we're going to have mild dross, it might as well be record breaking mild dross. Much like I hate heat in the summer, if it's going to be hot, be interestingly hot. Just looking at ensemble plumes is pretty dire viewing, even the lower percentiles barely drop below average throughout the EC and GFS runs. Councils are saving a fortune in gritting costs I suppose...
  14. Reading University posted a photo of the daffs coming up on campus the other day.
  15. Certainly in the realms of the worst ever winters for sure. At least 06/07 had a belting snow event in February though. Thankfully it's impossible to beat 13/14 in terms of snowlessness though! Can't get less than zero
  16. Latest EC is very concerning for North Carolina. Has the eye going right over the Outer Banks. I know it's 5 days away but there is still a very real possibility of a US landfall.
  17. A thoroughly pleasant day today it has to be said. Another washout tomorrow though!
  18. Fair play for bringing up this thread again despite it going wrong, many would just let it slip away
  19. It's looking increasingly likely that the back end of August will be reasonable with "useable" weather. Bank holiday weekend prospects currently look good, which they would be as I'm on 12 hour shifts for each of the three days.
  20. No you misread, B87 said average high, not overall high.
  21. A soaker for Buckinghamshire I should have added!
  22. Proper soaker of a morning, nearly 10mm here already.
