Its always good to see decent amounts of snow this time of the year high up. Even if it doesnt last it tops up what little is left high up.

17.6c 82mm Please.

17.8c 71mm Please

Sounds like the MO 30 dayer.

Every month is so wrong lol lets go for higher again temps wise one month it will be right.. 15.9c 57mm

I will have a competition with myself to see if I can get further away from last months figures. Lets go for bust... 12.4c 79mm

8.9c 62mm Please.

Thank you Tom, having spent days studying the facts, previous winners, the charts, the histories, ringing up several weatherman, nasa, the space station and more importantly my kids who didnt see me for days after taking their recommendations and studying them. Seriously Tom I know its your love of these things but its also a lot of time spent sorting these out. So thank you for your time and whats the betting next year I end up with nil points. Oh I forgot to mention my friends, family, producers, my agents and the papers.

After last months dismal failure. Should have known it wouldn't stay cold the whole month 6.7c hoping for some colder nights to keep ave down. 59mm hoping high pressure keeps close by.

Maybe instead of wearing masks everyone should be as keen on sorting out pollution as there are on covid starting with governments. However that doesn't win votes or save lives instantly. The world should grab pollution by the balls and head for a greener world. Sorry going of topic but Lassie started it.

At least it means I am not the only one that is several degrees out this month.

Did anyone else notice how crystal clear the skies still are last night and other nights. Long may we have less pollution and less air travel, stunningly clear skies, stunningly pristine looking moon.

Yep get the right cold temps, beautifully frozen and dry, then what happens its goes wrong and mild just takes over with no fight. This is the most disappointing end to a good cold spell, would never have believed it could fizzle out in this way. If you now got last weekends rain and snow now, that would be something special.

Thats a fair point Dub and Staines, forgot about all that water running down. but isnt it near the lock anyway so reduced flow at times. I find it strange that thinking back to 2018, 13, 1991 1987 and the lasting cold of 85,86, 95 ? Why would it have frozen this time, as I think many would agree its not been "that cold" in terms of low temps until the last day or so and the point you have made in regards to a strong flow..

Impressive, however is it more of a symptom of the lack of usage of the river. Very little boat traffic and movement which normally keeps the water from freezing over in previous cold spells.

May help you Tom just seen this posted on the SE thread. 11/2 08.41 Should be colder tonight possibly. Nowhere got under that -10°C mark last night. Marham came very close at -9.7°C

Stupid question but how come the temp has gone up over freezing, I thought there were no mild sectors now. Also I am not impressed with the temps they dont seem cold enough lol. The snow is still melting here from ground up esp near buidlings it seems that the ground is so so wet and no real cold to get dwn and freeze the ground. By the way is it a record yet because it hasn't stopped snowing here since sun am, although it could snow like this for the whole month and we wouldn't get much laying.

Well blow out this month on going to low. However we go again and surely this time we must get a decent below ave month. 2.1c 68mm

Does it ever stop raining. Considering we dont have a zonal train of lows raging over us, I have never known as much rain to fall and for it often to be just above it being cold enough to snow a lot of the time. Just imagine if the last few weeks was cold enough for it to be snow. I dont care if the cold comes and we dont get much snow just so it stops raining. Never mind wait till April when we get a month of no rain and we get the please dont use much water there could be a water shortage......

No it was on Radio 538 music station so no agenda that I can see.

Morning, the Dutch news mentioned that the whole of Feb would be very cold with their national pastime of skating being back as its not been done for many years. It that something that your local weather company has suggested, ie this cold wont be a blip and gone.

Well its media based even if it is Dutch. Just heard on the news on a Dutch radio station that they are forecasting February to be a very cold month and the normal past time of skating will be able to be done. That's great news because any wind that comes from there will be bitterly cold, the interesting thing is I have never heard them predicting the whole of Feb to be cold, that's a pretty bold statement.

Thats what I always thought. However I think I read on here, that the quoted temps are always the Cities and never like in the old days just general. So when they show say -1c for London they should say and several degress colder in the favoured spots or warmer/colder on the coast. Like in the summer they show London at 33c where here in Shoebury and even Leigh its only 25 to 28c. I really dont like the way they do the temps on there now now I have to agree.

Good evening Mr Teacher person Re Cat 9 Can you just check the south east thread as I am sure there was snow mentioned settling in the London area. It might have been just outside the area to be fair, it might have been one the the mods (nick's) it just seems strange that there was no snow from the 1st to the 5th Jan. Reading back there was falling snow New Years Day ( as stated above) but no one had settling snow ??

Do we take notice of the charts or go on gut feeling. Could end up being something special or only a bit cold. 2.2c 65mm Please.
