Second spotless day, I hope this will be the start of a run of spotless days and hopefully it will more than double what we had last year.
according to NASA, October 2018 to August 2019 there will be no sunspots, thats a long run and only getting started...did you know 2009 had 260 sun spotless days, no wonder we had such a cold winter...

Is the cover on properly on your weather sensor? Is your weather sensor near anything that produces heat? like an outside boiler...

Hi Darren, take the batteries out of your sensor and weather monitor for 24 hours, that will allow the device to reset to factory default...hope this helps.

@Gray-Wolf was it an atmospheric river we received in December 2015? If memory serves me well, didnt we get 3 days of non stop rain dragged up from a moist jet stream... Winter of 2013/14 was incredible for storms being picked up on a powerful jet stream from new foundland, i remember the flooding being bad that winter...

Yes , that's quite impressive for early season. About 100 Km currently separates Iceland coast to the full ice flow concentration off Greenland. Spring 1968 the complete last bridge when Polar bears crossed ! Maybe 50 years on , it could happen again ?

It could C, and the 60's winters were cold. The Icelanders would have to be on guard for polar bears...lol

I have an old war book in the house and it has Admiralty charts in it from WW2, and it has the maximum Winter ice extent half way down the Icelandic coast with the stretch of water between Iceland and Greenland iced up.
That's impressive and hence why there was much more cold winter weather around in those decades. It's quite obvious that the ice has retreated in our era due to the warming of our planet, hence why its more difficult to pull in colder weather to our area and even when we do the elements are greatly modified...

I live in western Ireland and we have had a cold winter since mid November with a couple of short milder interludes. Weve had the kitchen sink here, snow, sleet, hail, thunder snow, thunder hail, thunder and lightening, gales, storm force winds, many frosty and icy mornings, evenings, and some ice days. Flooding was also an issue. Temperatures around 0 to 4 degrees by day and -2 to 1 by night in average. Best mild spell was the run up ri xmas which was great for xmas shoppers. Was a very entertaining winter, quite cold was the default weather, with very cold spells and 2 mild spells.
