Minimum Temperature Watch 2023-2024 season
Sceptical replied to damianslaw's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Tulloch Bridge Highlands -13.6c provisional temperature overnight. -
The car was booked in for its MOT today over Lumsden and the commute was interesting. Cars struggling to get up fairly modest uphill sections. The roads around Alford and heading inland are not great. Looks like 10cm of fresh overnight, temperatures not that bad, -7c noted around Whitehouse. Looks like a busy day clearing up at the Lecht.

Dalwhinnie provisional temperature -14c according to the MO. UK weather: -14C temperatures with snow and ice warnings in place WWW.BBC.CO.UK Arctic air brings sub-zero temperatures to the UK, with amber and yellow warnings issued in parts. -
That's correct although the car, was showing around -25c. The Met takes temperature measurements at 1.5 meters, while typically a cars RTD is around 300mm. That mostly explains the difference. The coldest UK temperature I've seen was back on the 4th January 2010. The car was showing-25.6c at Whitehouse Alford.

I bought a snowblower back in 2009 after I got fed up of shovelling snow non stop. The machine was great, it could cut a path 24" wide and was smashing through 2 feet of snow no problem at walking pace. After the winter of 2010/11 it sat gathering dust in the garage before the gardener bought it around 2016. Thinking I should have held onto it

Not much sleep thanks to the wind! Had a look outside, difficult to know if it's snowing or just snow being blown around by the wind. Snow depths are roughly the same as when I got home around 8pm last night. The Met Office app shows a risk of light snow until around 8pm today. After that, generally cold and dry until the milder weather arrives over the weekend. That doesn't tie in with the yellow warnings for snow and ice from now until Thursday. Slight drifting around parts of the house and garage. I'll measure the snow depth later but it looks around 2-3 inches.
