I think Feb 2008 was one of the sunniest on record thanks to the exceptional anticylonic warm period mid month. Feb can be a sunny and very dry month, it is not a month renowned for stormy atlantic conditions indeed I've known many a drier settled Feb than July.

February 1998 had a dry sunny and warm spell. Do you know why that happened and what caused it? I'm interested to know.

You'd better be right about this mild month, PIT, or I will find a new best friend.

check your entries, for example with the 1.4 of LomondSnowstorm the entry looks a bit like -1.4, but I checked his blog and there's a dash before all three CET forecasts there.

Back to the CET
-0.4C to the 2nd. Likely to hover close to the zero mark for a few days unless forecasts are dramatically wrong.
GFS 12z follows the theme of yesterdays CFS with what would likely be a month long cold spell. Long way to go yet but if you have guessed 4C or over, you can probably tear up your betting slip now.

Another falling day today, but the next few days after that may see the figure rise, but only slightly as it stays on the cold side. Another cold blast forecast for next weekend, but very much FI at present.

Ok, I'm was just going by the xcweather map that showed maxima at around 0C or below, could have missed the peak by a bit I suppose. A maximum of 2C would make it -1.3C tomorrow.

Something around the 1.6-1.8C mark will give us a technical below average winter by the 71-00 scale...amazing really!!

Certainly there is strong potential for at least the first half of the month coming in below 0 degrees.
I would have thought the start to Feb 86 was equally as cold as to the start of this month? Could winter 11/12 be a role reversal of winter 10/11 with a very cold last 4 weeks as opposed to a very cold first 4 weeks. There is a chance the winter as a whole comes out slightly below the average, despite the mild Dec and January something many people a couple of weeks ago would have said is impossible.
I do feel this month could easily beat Feb 91 for coldness but certainly not 1986 - I might be wrong..

January 2009, January 2010, December 2010 and now February 2012.
I think values this week are going to depend a lot on cloud cover.
