Overall, I reckon a slightly colder than average January, which comes as quite
a
relief after recent winters. A fairly mild start after the Xmas cold spell, then
temps dipping to give a fairly long spell of cold and dry weather, though the
frost was never severe, the lowest temp being -4.7C on the 17th. There were no
freezing days either. After a small amount of snow on the 21st, mild weather
returned briefly giving the absolute max of 8.6C on the 24th, before temps again
fell giving light frosts towards the end of the month.
