This winter is going down the toilet fast,the ootput was looking a bit hopeful earlier this week,but since the weekend its looking woeful.

I bet any money you like,the pefect winter charts will appear once winter ends and will be on and off during the spring summer and autumn period this year.

Will quote this post when it happens.

After February 28th the cold charts can go do one as far as I'm concerned. Not interested in seeing spring disrupted.
Last year I remember making my annual trip to the bluebell woods in May and it was the latest and most disappointing display ever. In 2020 they were already out in force and looking at their peak during April .
I get the feeling last year was an anomaly and normal service of warm springs will be resumed in 2022....
While also I'm vaguely conscious that we're probably overdue a very poor summer (people calling 2021 poor shows we have forgotten what one is!)

Where I am January has certainly not felt an especially mild one. Many frosts in the last 2 weeks and not many days off from having to flick the heating on at least for a bit.
It may be devoid of deep cold and snow but it's hardly December 2015.
The "mega mild" winter is definitely in the post for the next few years though and the moaning on here will be next level when it happens...

I'm not a million miles from you and agree , it has had a chilly , quite a few frosts as well .

It depends what winter your after

In my location
December was mild
January is cold (3.7 average is well below all 30 year averages)

Boring winter but more frosts and sun than previous winters

No snow as of yet

The winter I'm after is for lots of snow. So far I've had 2 minutes of sleet.

We had snow in November 

 

Ice in November to .........................................blah ! blah ! blah!

This is a gloat rather than a moan. It has been another lovely winter’s day here today. Light winds, long spells of sunshine and and pleasant temperatures.

I think I am on the point of giving up on this winter, DrM. Prospects of snowfall in Feb seem to be fading.  Bloody awful gloomy day here today.

19/20 was a far worse Winter than this. So far here we've had 3 snowfalls, quite a few frosts and some lovely cold blue sky Winter days. Lots of grey anticyclonic gloom particularly just before Christmas and a lack of the cold wind and rain which I enjoy, but as I say, it could be worse in my location.

Snow in Mykonos down to sea level. You couldn’t make it up.

Ice in November - blah, blah, doesn't work that way round either!

I forgot about the November snow !

We did have some snow in November before winter began

Our winters don’t start now anyway until March

It does seem  that the W and certainly W.Midlands has been colder than the S.E this past decade. Been generally a mild January here with five frosts but only down to -2.1 at best. Daily max 4.5C to 15C but generally around 7C.

Stop not moaning! This is the most boring I can ever remember. i don't bother watching the forecast because I know it will be grey, cloudy 6.5C by day and 3.5C by night and dry. Every day!

Yes Skiathos, Rhodes - all the Greek islands and even Athens are experiencing snow! YET AGAIN.

Izmir, Turkey and coastal cities like Istanbul are experiencing ice days and snow as well as I type.

Back home 6.0c all day from an overnight low of +5c last night - currently 6.5c. with nothing happening or to report! 

A big borefest of a winter this is turning out to be really with nothing to discuss really! - Even with high pressure there was no freezing fog or ice days so that was a waste of high although did record our coldest night of the winter on 21st January down to -3.5c here in Exeter.

There is always April to come - like last April 2021 we saw a northerly and wintry showers of sleet and snow in the south (wet snow) I missed as I was asleep at 0700am - just a pity it never happens in the winter seasons!!

Dross gloom day...bur at least a seasonal average temp day at 5c max...despite no rain for what seems like an eternity ..a walk today revealed boots full of mud...I remember when a winter Easterly would dry out the ground by freeze drying the soil...what the hells happened to the climate...such desperate and sad times..

Just seen the really annoying photos of Mykonos, an island in the middle of the warm Aegean Sea covered in snow...!! while we sit on an island in the North Atlantic and have to endure weeks on end of benign nothingness...which looks like continuing for a while...!!

 Bloody awful gloomy day here today.

Try weeks of this Roger, then come back to me! 

The eternal gloom I don't mind, but the clouds don't even appear to move as you watch them. As I said in another thread the other day, this weather is becoming downright eerie.
