[J07]

All your weather sounds wonderful. I would gladly swap it. Here it is depressing when much of the country reaches the high 20s (Hastings to 33C), with heaps of sunshine, and here is is drizzly and 19C all bloody day with northerly gales, gusting 130 km/h in exposed parts of the city. Rubbish. Give me a hoarfrost.

[Kent Snow]

1.3C, light snow shower, broken cumulus, wind from the NE, 1023mb.

[Terminal Moraine]

Sunny and almost cloudless with 10cm of powder snow lying.

Temp' is -2.2c after an overnight min' of -3.6c; the grass min' was -5.2c but the thermometer was partially buried despite re-setting it at 2300 last night.

Rainfall ( melted snow ) in 24hs to 0900, 11.4mm

[Snowyowl9]

Got down to -3.8c at 9.45am!!!!

A dusting of snow on top of the now frozen compact 8inches of snow a cold light east/NE wind a little rime on the trees from freezing fog last night,sunny at just -2.3c

17 consecutive days with snowcover somewhere not complete.

[MP-R]

A cold and bright start with a slight breeze though not quite as cold last night with a minimum of only -1.3C, possibly because of more cloud cover which was still evident first things this morning. Ground is still frozen solid though.

[The PIT]

Sunny and cold

Temp -2.6C after a overnight low of -4.5C

[Stargazer]

Yet another cold and sunny day - currently 1.5 deg C after an overnight minimum of -0.6. We had a few drops of rain around around 10.00 yesterday evening, otherwise it's been dry the last 24 hours.
