Sort of wish we could just fast forward to start of May and put us out of our misery..  its been a miserable 3 months in the main and February looks like offering more of the same at least to start. It really affects my mood in winter when all we are served is wind, rain, mild and low cloud - cold, bright crisp days with frost and snow make my day.. my energy levels are better when we have such weather.. I've been downbeat recently and I can't help think the weather is partly to blame - I felt the same during winter 13/14, sunshine levels have been absolutely abysmal since the clocks went back, we've been in a perpetual air of grey... at least we have longer days to start looking forward too, and there is a massive change in the feel of things when the clocks go forward, indeed winters back tends to break mid Feb, and people's moods begin to get more positive again, right now we are all still firmly in mid winter mode.

As I said I normally refrain from posting in this thread at anytime of year, but the entrenched grimness of recent weeks has forced me in here. I hope not to have to post in here again.

 I have had the privilege of experiencing this wonderful winter.

Wonderful winter? Roads and bridges have been washed away in parts of the country, peoples homes & businesses have been wrecked by flooding. I'm sure they'll agree it's been a wonderful winter!

Hopefully we won't have to wait that long for break from this westerly dominance, be it warm/pleasant or cold and snowy.

Yes it's been a thoroughly miserable Winter mate. With little to cheer about from a coldie perspective apart from 1 snowfall in this location. I am a hardened "coldie" in Winter but if we cannot get anything in the next 2-3 weeks then I am going to look forward to the stronger sunshine of late March when it can start to feel very pleasant on a bright day.

Who likes MILD… in winter  

If it is dry and sunny...yes I'll grab it with both hands.

Mild wet and windy on the other hand...not a cat in hell's chance.

Yes I quite enjoy mild and sunny, but not wet, but would rather rain at 12C than 4C

This...this...this.  Hell will freeze over before I would dare call a season which has inflicted so much flood related misery on the people of Cumbria in particular, but not discounting South West Scotland, North West Wales and parts of Yorkshire as "wonderful"

I wont use this thread to moan or for that matter ramp(if ever we get that chance) as it wont change the weather.

While i appreciate disappointment with our so called Winter,there's nothing we can do about it.

I have followed weather charts since the early 1960's and have seen all the ups and downs in our seasons.If you are here just for snow then expect many let downs as it is very much a long odds UK weather occurrence for most lowland areas.

That's the truth but when it does snow it's a beautiful bonus.

Of course it can snow in May

The Facebook "on this day" feature is a good one for my weather memories. My status on the 31st Jan 2014 was bemoaning the endless rain, and how we only had 1 dry day all month. Just reminded me that it could be far, far worse.

Even so, this has been a crap winter, and there looks like very little change for the next 10 days at least.

didnt use Facebook much then

Depends on where you live I guess. Here we had Gertrude on Friday, snow on Saturday and Henry is raging outside just now (my bin has just had to be recovered after taking flight!)

so the last few days have been really exciting weather wise and certainly 'extreme'

if populated parts of the USA had the wind speeds we've had here in the populated central belt (fri and mon) theyre media would make a huge deal out of it!

Crap crap crap winter. I almost posted this in the model thread.

Early May 2010 the council were still using ploughs to deal with the snowfall in parts of NE Scotland. I had 2.5 foot drifts outside my house and couldn't manage to get the range rover out of the drive. The joys of winter 2009/10!

Well of course there are favourable parts of the country where it can snow from October to May, my window for snowfall is somewhat smaller down here, thank heavens. 

So in fact it could still snow for the next four months or so in some places in good old Albion.

[northwestsnow]

Dont bother looking at the 0z runs if your interested in cold and snow, if your interested in wind and rain you have really hit the jackpot living in this hell hole.

Not here "just for snow"...haven't seen it falling since Boxing Day 2014 - not that big a masochist. The moaning is this winter delivering way too much foul rotten weather (wet and windy autumnal rubbish)

Just want Spring now. Not interested in Jam Tomorrow charts now..

Nor could those of us who've had no proper winter yet care much anymore about how much snow a Northern hill is getting...most of us don't live on a Northern hill..
