The thick fog eventually lifted from the hills by 0920 and it's currently cloudy and misty with vis' around 2km after being 200 mts at 0900.

_{Currently 10.5c , misty.}

[pipsta]

Just seen friends FB status, lives in Grantown-on-Spey. They have had a dusting of snow on the mountains up there.

[Andy Bown]

A dull, misty start followed by a few sharp showers between 08.00-09.00 and then a period of bright sunshine before the mist / low cloud

descended again after 10.00 to end thoughts of a fine rest of the day!

12.3c and feeling fairly muggy despite what I think was a Cold Front earlier.

[Backtrack]

10.7C, cloudy with some blue sky. Breezy too. Hopeful of a frost tonight.

[Eugene]

Hopeful of a frost tonight

Yes a widespread ground frost tonight, TBH nothing special in late November at all, i have seen temps near 0C in the early morning in a nearby valley in June, still havent recorded an air frost in my town, quite incredible with how long the nights are.

[toggerob]

Current temp this afternoon 7.8'c with still overcast skies 8/8, cloud layer has lifted somewhat from being at 300ft base earlier on in the morning.

[Mike Storm]

12.6c here dewpoint 12c 98% humidity.... 0.4mm rain since midnight wind calm

[Isolated Frost]

A pleasant mild 12c, a bit breezy and 4/8 okta. Very nice day. Hopefully turn cooler tonight if skies clear. This is definitely more normal November fare though, tomorrow and Thursday should stay mild, Friday and Saturday possibly slightly below the average, then some mixed days afterwards. Time of the year when a cool airmass really can take a knock out of the temperature and clear skies at night usually mean frosts.

It's simply ridiculous. It's been clear here most nights last week, and we've been struggling to get below 8C.

If a frost isn't recorded tonight, then I will be giving the weather a break until December 1st, to see what a new month of model watching can bring us.

[Isolated Frost]

Interesting day:

0900- 9c, light rain, stratus.

1200- 11c, mostly cloudy.

1500- 9c, clear.

Turned much clearer and amazingly there is not a cloud in the sky right now. 8.2c and falling, a beautiful orange sunset.

^{My god it's raining here!!, currently 12.8c}

[Isolated Frost]

Down to 6.3c, falling at 2c/hour.

[Isolated Frost]

On the morning we got -3.7c (7th november, 0711), I took a little pic of the wx (sad I know) and at 1625, we were at 5.5c.

5.3c at 1645 currently. If conditions stay favourable and cloud cover stays away, i'll be a bit more hopeful for a similar frost!
