Did the countries get the weather?

only the northern fringes of Scandinavia. But I'm sure even I could forecast a storm a week in the artic circle at this time of year!

yep, me too

This coming weekend looks interesting - from a Corbyn viewpoint - especially North Sea coasts UK + Ireland Swell Charts

here was the original for the record

* 8th-13th November. Storm / hurricane force Gusts of 90 to 110
mph and tornado type developments. Probably worse in Scotland and
Northern Ireland than South England. The storm will track East and
bring damage to a band of N Europe which is likely to include (80%
confident) Bergen, Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki and possibly St
Petersburg.

Wind charts for the 8th also look good. Storm force 10 predicted to hit north Scotland

Spring tides this weekend, although not as high as they could be, perhaps above datum.

This is from his website- it's his forecast for January 2008 as a whole, written on 29 December 2007

Long Range Severe weather warning for Brit Isles
January 2008 will turn colder in the first week with sleet or snow likely in places. Generally cold conditions continue through the month and overall January 2008 will be unusually cold with heavy snow at times in the South and SouthEast. Overall January 2008 is likely to be as cold or colder than 1987 when averages over day and night were only 0.8C above freezing in Central England.
It is likely to be in one of the six coldest Januarys for 100 years and is expected to include at least oneexceptionally cold spell similar in type to that experienced in part of January 1987 and in the legendary January 1740 when biting Easterly gales or near gales at times and snow wreaked havoc.
There is likely to be a number of days when temperatures in parts stay below freezing all day. The lowest night temperatures in parts of the Midlands, North England or Scotland could be minus 17C or possibly colder at times.
Pressure developments. Through a variable first week the track of Low presures – the Jet stream - gets pushed further South by solar effects. High pressure over Scandinavia and extending into Britain at times dominates most of the rest of the month with low pressures in the Mediterranean making a ‘dipole driver’ of very cold East winds from Siberia across Europe and into Britain. Air from the Arctic is likely in the last week of this January.
Weekends JANUARY 2008: 5th/6th Cold, mostly dry, some showers mainly in West/SW esp later. 12th/13th Dry, very cold & bright. 19th/ 20th Blizzards and drifting snow especially in South/East Bitter wind. 26th/27th Dry, very cold, bright.
