Take it to the Daily Mail you nutcase. 

Whatever you say about this winter, it has produced widespread displays of rare nacreous clouds.  2010 never did that

Guten Tag - Did you visit Mozart house? - from there I almost heard the sound of Music. Also visited Mozart café. I have been there twice...I was in Vienna in November it was 23c. Schonnbunn Park was amazing too!- Took the train to Salzburg and then back to Vienna and then to Bratislava (only 1hr) away.

Utterly vile day. Sunless, windy, grey and depressing. Rain miraculously managed to get down from the north west on the same trajectory the snow failed abysmally to on Saturday, adding a further 4mm to the saturated ground. As seen so often in this atrocity of a winter temperatures were at their lowest in mid-afternoon - just 3C under the rain - and on the rise now 

Yesterday was also nasty and unpleasant due to the wind. Felt rotten and cold even at 10C. Gloves and a hat were necessary to attempt to ameliorate the effects of the totally repellent wind that never lets up.

So another month off to a disgusting start and it's hard to see it turning out as anything other than the 6th write-off crap February in a row. Even the 80s/90s never sunk as low as this but nowadays it is just impossible to get anything decent any more. Nothing but endless filth

Typical scene around here now..

Plum trees in bloom..

Even the the red leafed/ pink flower red plums that don't normally flower until mid March are in bloom.

Yet another snowfall here, 1-2" but very cold too - roll on Spring

Might get to see a wet snowflake today if I get myself on to some higher ground..exciting times. 

Had some sleet/hail/Graupel  last night. Nothing much else beside wind and frost. The 1st quarter moon looked nice behind the tree whist charging up the camera from the day before......

What is it with these pathetic northerly blasts - why don't they produce any significant cold weather or wintry weather? Whenever we get a northerly wind these days - we still (southern England) end up with temperatures around average like 7 or +8c: - Is it the fact that the LP is too far north? I don't get it - you can see how far south the jet stream has dipped (towards southern France and Northern Spain). You can clearly see the winds are coming from the north all the way down from Svalbard. - Yet why does the temperature chart show an average +7  across many central and southern areas?

I use to remember when we had northerly winds in the 90's and in 2000 - 2001 and many other occasions when we would have daytime highs of -1c to +2c with snow showers, severe frosts and ice days and night-time lows of -5c. Just strange how we can't get a decent cold spell and when we do get a northerly it never brings a proper cold spell of weather or only lasts for a day.

Indeed, I thought it's to do with it's positioning but look how far north the winds are coming from!?? - Even last year - we never really had a severe cold spell, like the abysmal winter of 13/2014 - this shows a classic northerly wind yet will only produce colder air for Scotland and perhaps average temperatures for southern England and you can see where the air is coming from and how far south the jet stream has shifted!? -perhaps this will be the new norm - Northerly winds mean cooler spells NOT colder!? +7C By day and down to +3 or +4c by night? Then rising before the next Atlantic system moves in brining wind and rain.

Gloating in sunshine .. Never mind the wind chill....... 

Up here we only seem to get decent northerly blasts in spring and autumn these days e.g. April 2012, October 2012, April 2015.

The ones in winter have been feeble embarrassing jokes. The flow gets cut off before it really gets going. This is the 5th successive winter with no northerly spell and consequently the 5th successive crap winter

As for the current weather. It pretty much goes without saying that today was yet another tedious windy day with lots of cloud and nothing remotely interesting happening. No frost and the temperature will still be the same, or milder, in 3 hours just like every evening this winter.

The 13/14 frost season saw a total of 28 air frosts. Currently, with only a couple of months to go, the abomination of 15/16 has produced 12 - only a few more than we should have seen in the autumn alone. Nearly all of them occurred during the mid-Jan cold spell. Just one frost since 21st Jan and only three before 13th Jan. It's beyond awful.

It's not even mild. January mean max was 0.4C below average here and the past two days have seen day temperatures of 3-5C. Yet the amount of snow and frost is far less than in years that did have very mild weather e.g. 2001/02 and 2003/04 or even 1997/98. It's just utter garbage. The worst of all worlds

I think that is the issue - it's not so much that it's short lived, they do get cut off more quickly due to this active jet stream! Leaving December 2010 out of the equation...- I remember northerly's in the 90's and 00's when we had a good week or two of cold and wintry weather, I remember a great thundersnow event I think 28th Jan 2004!! 

Anyway that Northerly has now become a W.N Westerly. This cooler spell of drier weather today (I say cooler I mean 8.5c) max today - which is around average will only last until early hours of tomorrow before we are back up to +12c with more wind and rain. You in Aberdeen will probably be stuck under cloud +5c with cold rain (maybe freezing rain) before temperatures rising during tomorrow night into Friday. - I look forward to your moan and rant tomorrow!

Thanks for sharing.

PS - I know what will happen is come April & May - We will have a blocking - (easterly wind).  - and we all (me included) will see the forecast charts/gfs runs etc and think (if only this had occurred in winter).

Any luck?

What do you think ? lol
