Has a page rank update just gone through?

The PR of my pages hasn't changed (UK).

WMT shows a big drop on traffic metrics: 36% drop in impressions, 45% drop in clicks, and 22% drop in phrases returning a page 1 result (avg. position <=10, although this last measure is always a bit suspect).

Backlinks haven't changed much.

The WMT stats are month-on-month, so a lot of this could be the Christmas period (what I supply isn't at the top of everyone's Search agenda when they are on holiday) coupled with January (which is always a slow month). It doesn't look quite so grim in my server logs, but I am not planning a last-minute skiing holiday on the strength of those either.
