Give me February 2008 anyday over this wet non stop W/SW-ly dross.

It looks like we won't beat 1868/69 (Dec 7.2C, Jan 5.6C, Feb 7.5C). It would take a record-shattering warm Feb to achieve that unwanted accolade. Two 7.0C + months in one winter, that must have been hideous.

 

The question is, how close will we come?

An article I wrote on it.http://www.ukweatherworld.co.uk/forum/index.php?/topic/49264-the-mildest-winter-on-record-and-the-spring-that-followed/Depends on how mild February turns out but I can't see breaking it.

I should think they were most grateful at the time!
