How far north are you? 

 

Nice ice halo!

[First Ground and Air Frost Watch - Season 2023-24]

-0.5º here this morning. Lovely stuff!

[Has my data logger died?]

I've written one. I leave everything to the cat home. 

[Has my data logger died?]

Clever man! That worked, and now when I go back to the original station, it's all working again, albeit with a gap between January 18th and today; I can live with that. 

Thank you!!

[Has my data logger died?]

Yeah, removed it, rebooted the console, cleared the data, etc....followed all the troubleshooting steps.

It's a USB data logger and I've even tried it running off just battery power to see if it was an interference issue. 

The data is sent to my cutting edge website using the weatherlink software, and that's accurately displaying highs/lows, rainfall etc, so none of this makes sense!

[How strong is your password?]

Is Osbourne10! strong enough?

[Has my data logger died?]

My venerable Vantage Pro 2 still displays weather information on the console. It still sends its data to my website (a lifesaver for anyone travelling between Burrells and Orton, let me tell you), but on the Weatherlink app on my PC, it doesn't seem to collect the data anymore, with everything simply reporting as 

 

Could not get record 2506380

Could not get record 2506381

 

etc etc. 

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

Car noted -8c in Stevenage and stayed that way on my drive to Ware. Rose to -7c on my way home and was -6c by the time I was back in Stevenage.

I've got an old school friend who lives just outside Stevenage and keeps referring to it as "deliverance country". I'm not sure Deliverance was set in Hertfordshire, but oh well. He seems pleased it's cold anyway!

Weird this morning as -10.8º when I set off for Leeds only for it to be +1º 20 miles away over the Pennines as I drove past Barnard Castle. Very odd!

Yep; currently -9.4º and no sign of the high clouds that have rolled in on previous evenings. 

[Coldest minima recordings season 22-23]

For the third consecutive night, and the 4th night in the past week, it dropped to -8.7º here. Four ice days in a row too.

Ooh a cold one in East Cumbria, often is the coldest part of England in these set ups. Not sure if we will go as low as last night, bit more of a breeze and patchy cloud about.

-8.7 this morning!

[Coldest minima recordings season 22-23]

-7.1 here in Great Asby, a few miles from Shap, and he coldest of 2022 so far. It reached -1.5 a while ago but is dropping back down now. First ice day in a while. 

[Model Output Discussion - moving into Winter]

Models don’t backtrack. 

There, I feel better now!

[First ground and air frost watch 2022-23 season]

Dropped to -0.4 here this morning. 

[First ground and air frost watch 2022-23 season]

Shap looking favourite to secure England's first frost of the season.  It was 2.6C there this morning and colder is expected. It sounds like there could be plenty of the usual places recording frosts by Saturday morning.

I'm only 7 miles from Shap and it was 4.6º last night. Shap has the advantage of elevation I think, but the disadvantage of being Shap....although the chippy is excellent. 

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Evening everyone. 

I regret to have to pass on the news that we've learned the member known as Puffy MacCloud (David) died on Wednesday, with family by his side. 

This perhaps won't come as a surprise, but it'll still be upsetting nonetheless. 

We have no more information than that, and I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. 

 

[Model discussion: Hunt for cold - The start of 2022]

Hello - is this the model discussion thread? Thought so!

Come on, the team can't be expected to moderate everything; we all have a responsibility to stay on topic so this is a useful resource for everyone. And that includes you (whoever you are). 

[North West Regional Discussion Feb 2021 onwards]

Back down to 0.0º right now having reached the dizzy heights of 1.5º earler. 

Telescope set up for a night of imaging. Woohoo!

[North West Regional Discussion Feb 2021 onwards]

Brrrrr. -4.1º here and very pretty.

My advice fir what it’s worth is stay positive and watch this space as I think there will be a few supposes this month ️️️️️️️️️️️️️

To paraphrase you..."can you please explain why or show any evidence of why" you think this because "posting statements like this is really not helpful and just guess work".

Be nice, play fair and be consistent. 

[Model discussion - hunt for cold Christmas period 2021]

What's going on tonight? Everyone behave, stay on topic and be nice.....please.
