    A brief return to above average temperatures during Tuesday and Wednesday will soo be replaced by unsettled and cool weather with a possible
    easterly flow establishign itself later..

    it certainly wont be mild after Thursday but it looks unlikey for snow to fall..

    But March is setting up to be a bitterly cold and possibly record breakingly
    cold month..

    The CET in England is @ -0.5c for the first 4 days.. 5.8c below average.

    So no spring until at earliest the 15th of March;)

    The ensembles don't paint a bitterly cold March... Mabye I'm missing something.

    All I can say is that no ensemble member really wants to push the 850 mb temp below -5.

    WC has regained his optimism:)

    cold blasts in march are nearly too late for snow but yet they are good enough to make everyone feel miserabley cold so I wish from now on things would just heat up, I dont want to see another cold snap till next November now.
