This putrid run of winters has given us one of the wettest December’s on record (2012), one of the wettest January’s on record (2014) and the wettest January on record (2016).
No close to record breaking wet February so I’ve been thinking that perhaps we’ll get one of those, since getting anything remotely decent now appears impossible, and low and behold absolutely horrific charts like these start to appear

Who knows whether that will transpire but what is clear is that this dire month joins December and a shedload of recent January’s as a total write-off month. It was unreal just how bad January was between 1988 and 2004 with few heavy snowfalls but since 2005 it has sunk to a whole new level of awfulness. Just three of the past 13 January’s have produced more than 2cm of snow. There are no words to describe how ridiculous this is. At least before 2011 December and February often delivered but since then they’re all in the same sinking boat of despair
