Sort of, although had some of the mean charts that showed robust heights and the talk of highs shuffling around at high latitudes converted into a memorable cold spell then we would have all been in the regionals measuring our snow this week.
snow for some but overall a fairly standard cold snap for what is the heart of winter.
we then have 7/10 days (minimum) of westerlies with euro heights to take us into the last knockings of proper winter.
