[Flaked Queen]

Of course!! Welcome to our odd little corner of the best UK weather forum on the net. Most of our regional contributors are completely safe (when sedated) and all of us are approachable if you have, in no particualr order:

• Tea
  
• Coffee
  
• Chocolate
  
• Biscuits
  
• Alcoholic drink
  
• Banter
  
• Money
  

Oh, a bit of regional weather doesn't go amiss now and again as well!! Enjoy the forum.

Had to go to Guildford today, wow is all that i can say.

Wow indeed, you almost don't need snow looking at those great shots! Mid you, you can't build a snowman or do snow angels in frost !!

well thank you i do have most of the above so should fit in quiet well x

I'm normally swayed by the alcohol TBH!!!!

You've done way better than I've ever done with wild deer, except for once in the Cotswolds, when one nearly ran into me! No chance of a photo then though

Well obviously having a 3000 acre deer park IMBY is an advantage ( http://www.woburn.co...bbey/deer-park/ ) I was a bit disappointed not to have seen any big reds this morning, here are some from a very similar day in 2010....

Very glad to here about your mum Kate, Not a nice experiance at all. Still wont be to long and the milder set up will be here. As much as we crave for cold and snow,At least people will be able to get about and see family at Christmas time and not worry about travelling. Anyway we can all wait for the next snow event on the return to work, and get a few extra days off....Lovely.

Welcome to the Mad house.

[Katiewombat]

Note to self: time I learnt to read the models

[Eskimo]

Nearly spat out my drink looking at the warning for Friday/Saturday

[No Balls Like Snow Balls]

A high of -0.7c today :-), bbbrrrrrrrr, love it.

[Soaring Hawk]

Temp has reached the dizzy heights of -1C in west London, can't see it get any higher now, so first ice day of the season. The hoar frost hasn't melted too.

Same here! -1C has been our warmest and now dropping again. That's 2 (tiny) snow falls and an ice day this autumn/winter. I didn't know things like this happened inside the M25! Whatever next....??

[BucksSnow]

Havent been around for a few days guys since the disartstorous turnaround the other day...i know its gonna warm up now but is there any cold or snow in sight

[Shutterbug Netty]

That met office map is hillarious.

[Great Plum]

Whilst the models are showing rubbish, it's good to know that Charlwood will record an ice day today - top temp of -0.2c at 3pm!

[Ben_Cambs]

So many fantastic photos on this thread today!

Temperatures in some areas tonight falling to around -5C or -6C, so hopefully some decent wintry scenes tomorrow too. After tomorrow though, the Atlantic returns...

[Katiewombat]

I wouldn't, it's scary in that thread....

I know thats why I haven't got round to learning how to read models. Too busy following spats and thrown dummies. 4th winter hooked :-)

[Buzzit]

Judging by the model output - for now we are stuck with low pressure sandwhiched between a Greenland High and a Siberian High.

Or as I like to say it - caught between a rock, and a hard place

[Keraunic]

Gah! No warnings for our neck of the woods then. Seems like we're gonna be stuck with dull, wet and grim. One compensation would be some high winds. :o

Oh how I wish that was true

Edit: No,just had a look and true enough. Limpit surface high over greenland and blocking Siberian High.

Not much good for us

I'm not sure they will be that high in your neck of the woods K, I'll check them out tomorrow morning though.

[Summer of 76]

For the past couple of hours my temperature has been on the rise, if the clouds don't clear I think we could have a frost free night and looking at the latest output I think there could be a while to wait before the next frost.

[95 Degrees]

Very Cold indeed this morning as it got down to -4C! lovely hoar frost around the Shoreham area too which almost made it look like snow, shame it's turning milder because even without snow cold and dry alone can be beautiful and fun to watch.

[Nick F]

Even the UHI effect can't overcome a cold inversion sometimes in the suburbs of London and also bitterly cold easterlies. In central London though - think it got up to +1C today.

[Coast]

Whatever next....??

TSK Hawky, you're made of granite now, you can take it surely?
