Is it just me, or does anyone else think something special is brewing? After reading some of the more experienced member posts, and now the massively upgraded Met Office outlook, I think we could be on the cusp of something we've been starved of for many years. I'm pretty sure the models will upgrade for coldies very soon!

Well this is interesting. It seemed like a pretty dry month to me but 25-50% above average rainfall in January for much of London including my location when it did rain, it did come down and it was persistent on a couple of days.

One of the wettest regions in the UK -  that's not a normal occurrence much drier in Norfolk although that's typical being quite sheltered from Atlantic fronts.

I continue to feel that we will see some decent cold and some snow before winter is over, maybe in early spring too. But am not expecting anything special, maybe a week at most? Will probably be mild and windy lol.

After the cloud cleared earlier it has been a lovely sunny day, looking forward to spring and planting season. A way to go though.

Time will tell, but I agree, I'm sure we will see some snow soon!

Well I had a feeling this winter would be somewhat different to previous ones, just a gut feeling mind you, nothing scientific! Would be nice to see a few days of snowy cold, but not too long. Still a good month to go where anything decent is possible in that respect.

The models are rolling out now and I predict an upgrade. The Met Office see what we don't and they seem confident, so it'll be interesting to see how this evolves!

I only measured 19mm way below normal, most of that was New year day. Dec 12mm Nov 18mm feb to date 4mm and possibly after Wednesday that's it maybe for the month. You just know we will make up for it in spring and Summer

Quiet in here. Not like the old days but maybe I don't drop enough any more.  

For me: weather as fun, part of life not life itself. We're very lucky in this country to have a mostly kind climate and actually that makes winter snow and summer storms, cold spells and heatwaves, more engaging, and makes it very hard to deal with for those that have suffered so much in recent years with terrible flooding.   Can't believe that the model thread is still going in the same way it has for at least a decade or probably more since I first signed up; it's surprising how many people follow every output and then the casual reader has has to  witness the rage or euphoria that follows, posters storming off and then coming back within a day, arguing about a bleedin' weather chart in a gulf-stream influenced mild climate.   Who really cares about this?  I love snow and ice, my ice axe and crampons are still in the attic, but for goodness sake this is the UK.  I have climbed and walked in the Highlands in winter, where there is a proper sub-Arctic plateau (Cairngorms) but whinging about no snow across most of the country, particularly in London and the south east, is bonkers. 

Anyway, hello to any of the folk that posted here way back when.

Extreme fog here! Most dense I've seen for a long long time. Surprised there no weather warning for this!
