Postively tropical TM. -8.6º last night which, I'm annoyed to see, isn't the lowest recorded by a member, but still the coldest here since December 2010.

Currently -6.1º and bright sunshine.

[Methuselah]

0.6C, stratocumulus, grey, wind from the N, 1038hPa.

[Andy Bown]

A severe frost this morning with the minimum being -6.7c, however it's notable from looking at the Met Office Obs and from finding out

the minimum at my previous address (thanks to my dad) that low lying areas were colder - Westbury was -8.1c and Yeovilton lower than that!

Mostly sunny, frozen ground, some fair weather Cumulus, -0.7c and rising slowly, calm.

[jean91]

-9.2c for my suburbs was the low at 0800 am which is coldest since 26th december 2010 by nearly 2c.

Now pressure at 1036 hPa

Currently -4c at 14h28 pm local

just briefly went to -3.8c at 13h00 pm but going down again!!!!

A nice pure blue sky now. With the wind and as it is so dry no trace of frost anywhere.

a cm or 2 ( if lucky!!!) of snow is forecasted for our area here tonight and then should clear out during the early hours of morning for a cold day again.

Windchill went to a truely wakening -16.9c at 0730 am and did not go above -10.4c for now.

[Optimus Prime]

A very cold morning. Temperature had dipped to -5.6c and easily the lowest since December 2010. Currently 1.4c after a 'high' of 1.7c.

[johnholmes]

a lovely sunny if fairly cold day with hardly any wind-the low last night=the lowest since Boxing Day morning 2010,

this morning -4.8C

[reef]

After a min temp of -5.1C and severe frost this morning it has been a clear and sunny day. The 2cm of lying snow has partially melted in the sunshine but would still count as a half cover under the MetOffice definition, so its likely tomorrow will be another snow lying at 0900 day. Despite the constant sunshine the temperature only struggled up to 2.2C, making it the coldest maxima of the winter.

Currently 1.4C and 72% humidity

[nwales]

Cloud in the first part of last night cleared and allowed the temperature to fall quickly.

Min temp: -8c

Max today: -0.6c (The first ice day of the winter)

Currently clear, temp: -3.7c
