I very much dislike the continuous and repetitive use of the words, 'dross' and 'boring' about the the current and recent weather. From where I'm sitting, from the meteorological perspective it has been far from either. This subjective and brief analysis, is, well, just dross and boring.

Current weather (IMBY.. London) has been boring! 

Who finds drizzle and mild, cloudy January days exciting?

It’s so bad now this winter,that I would take that 24 hour Northerly on ECM lol.

Can anyone remember the last time we had sustained Northerly in January lasting more than a couple of days.

Im scratching my head trying to remember....

They seem very rare these days I'd agree.the other problem is away from coasts and the far north there generally dry.i guess it's a waiting game but I think that's wearing thin now

Hopefully we should get a break from this very unsettled period come the end of the week. And yet the peeps are  hoping this will be short lived and are gagging for the return of unsettled and nasty in the form of snow and ice. It makes no sense to man nor beast.

What’s wrong with wanting snow and ice ? It’s like it a crime according to you . I’m pretty sure most on here would rather have snow blowing at there door rather than rain blowing at it or even dry mild weather. People like snow (so what ) some people like mild (so what ) some people like storms (so what) . What makes no sense nor beast is you moaning because people want cold and snow in winter .

Just an Mjo influence...lNothing really and probably false as Mjo dies at 7 an charts reflect that...Nothing this Winter really suggests anything other than zonal, unfortunately. 

Seems to getting a bit more amplified (sourced from Matt Hugo via twitter)

I really don't get it either when snow lovers get stick for moaning about the lack of cold/snow in January, the time of year when it is most likely!  What about when we have a cool and unsettled summer?  Will heat/storm lovers get stick for moaning?!

I've been staying out of this thread, as I suspect it would be full of doomy gloomy posts - as expected given the lack of cold and snow so far.. 

From a personal perspective, this winter so far is not quite on a par with the snowless mild gunk that 13/14 delivered. We didn't receive one morning with any snow cover the whole of that winter!. At least we have had one so far. We have also so far been spared any significant flooding events, or storm events unlike 13/14 and 15/16. So yes whilst it has been relatively poor so far for cold and snow, there have been worse winters up to this point. 

I'd just like to have at least one decent snowfall, say 3-4 inches that sticks on the ground for 2-3 days preferably a weekend. Not much to ask for.. no doubt the snow and cold will come in Spring when we don't want it.. cold snowy spells have a habit of rearing there head in spring after mild snowless winters, 2007/2008 a good example, April 89 also, Spring 16 also. I'm staying positive in that we will see some snow and cold weather before the winter is out.

Like end of January/beginning of February last year for some southern/south western areas.  That couldn’t have been better timed!

You personally spend every single day above 20 degrees from May-September moaning about how hot it is and then revel and rub "heat lovers" noses in it whenever it's cool and rainy and you're moaning about others doing the same in Winter. Remarkable.
