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.
