We could share it, with some of your recent rain, we'd have had a great dump of snow....

If you'd like to be a few days ahead of the MET orrofice, check this weather model out (it's waaay cool)
http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-1.59,57.81,718
Note: you can zoom in, grab the globe and centralise it anywhere, click on "earth" for another menu, TPW is a good overlay "Total Precipitable Water" helps you see the likely fronts, you can also move forward in time up to 4 days.
This is the Stormsurf model, great animations of the jet stream model, goes out further in time.
http://www.stormsurfing.com/cgi/display_alt.cgi?a=glob_250
Between the two of them you can get a good idea of the "big picture" coming weather systems over the longer range. (up to two weeks)

Like that Pumpy 
We had a lousy journey back to the house yesterday, 5 hours of trouble free motoring, then the last 45 minutes (as it should have been) took us three and a half hours of stationary/as good as traffic.
Still, on the bright side, we came home to this....
And its -8C at 11:15 in the morning, shame we have work tomorrow ...

A very wet January for by all accounts - back to sun in Feb! No sign of any really cold or even snow days 
The good thing about the mild weather is they've not been caking the roads in salt. Might just get the bike out for a run.
Enjoy the ride TP!
Plenty of salt here, but I'm glad of it at the moment, TBH. It's bl00dy freeeeezing!
No, -10 isn't too unusual, but we've had it so mild lately it came as a shock.
I was in a T shirt on Christmas day, it was over 12 degrees and brilliant sunshine!
