Another positive post from me is that the ECM 192+ has been so poor this winter its become a joke.
We had a discussion a couple of weeks ago whether the NWP have improved at all in the past decade, given all the computing power and millions thrown at them - well clearly, when it comes to the UK and our winters, they have gone backwards instead of forwards.
Never believe computer models bearing winter gifts, since unless it is nailed on at t+72, it isn't going to happen. As Brian succinctly put it last night, this has been the best virtual winter ever, whilst for lowland Britain is has been as crappy as any (when it comes to lying snow and extended cold that is).
So another January is about to bite the dust having delivered nothing of note outside of the usual favoured upland areas.
