Well done for putting those figures on. Despite the amazing December we need a good mild February to break the record.

February 1869 had a CET of 7.5C.

That's quite a hard nut to crack.

5.8 please GW

A not particularly interesting 5.2*C please. Or is it? Think about the winter CET 

Hopefully also hiding some reasonable inter-month variation.

 Slightly relevant to this thread as winter ranked CETs are in question.

There's a quirk in the HAD CET which results in years from March to Nov having a zero at rank 1; meaning the coldest of each of these months is ranked at no. 2; as is the current coldest overall year (1740).

Now I've no doubt there's a reason for this but the way it's presented is very misleading.

The winter months have their zero value plugged in at the appropriate ranking position for a zero \C month. Again, I see the systematic approach to whatever led to this misleading data; but remember HAD CET is available fully in the public domain.
