We've arrived at the New Year and I've just heard that December was the coldest since records began in 1910 and the coldest month since February 1986. The average temperature last month was a bracing -1 C for the whole UK. No doubt some areas had an average a lot colder than that.
It makes the current 5 C in the south east seem positively balmy, although the wind-chill is making it seem colder.
Nevertheless, on we go into January with the days getting longer and promise of brighter, warmer things to come.
The weather is always a huge talking point in the UK, and it's probably the same in Australia right now, with the city of Rockhampton and the state of Queensland suffering from flooding. Let's hope it doesn't get any worse before it starts to get better.
