A bright frosty start current temperature -6.7C dead calm with a little fog.

Looks like another cold and bright day.

Coldest overnight temperature recorded for this year and pressure yesterday at 1042mb was the highest since 1045mb recorded on 23rd March 2011.

Big difference in temps -5 in shawbury and +9c west coast,stuck in the middle here at 2c ground frost,but now cloudy.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

-4.1C min, thick frost, but feel no ice day, as clouded over now, my temp always higher max when cloudy

[Bishop Brennan]

A rather underwhelming overnight low of just -1.4°C here, rubbish compared to some of the other lows recorded in the region last night. The temp seemed to zig-zag either side of 0°C all night.

 

It's been a strange feature of this winter so far, the reluctance of the temperature to drop significantly in seemingly ideal conditions.

A full thaw with temperatures getting down to freezing tonight? How does that work? Tomorrow you will though. Such a shame we're losing this frosty high just to allow the Atlantic back in...sadly in for a while too.

cloud needs to clear, or temp will steadily rise as wind increases, and the Atlantic closes in

[Gord]

Forecast doesn't suggest that happens until tomorrow morning. Though it could happen sooner. The frost is melting quite well this morning though.

Quite breezy today which thawed quite abit of snow,but in the shelter out of the wind on the ground of course little thaw.

On the roof shade thawed quite fast.

Cloud all cleared up mostly after max of 4c now 3.1c another slight ground frost until the cloud comes.

[picog]

Oddly, we have had a colder day than yesterday, maxing out at 2.9C. Temp currently a little below -2C. The ice on the pond looks about 2 inches thick - pond is quite big too, about 5m diameter.

An ominous looking cloud on the western horizon right now. I call that type of cloud a HOD - a harbinger of doom - as it generally signals bad weather (wet & windy). Yuk.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

0.1C max with the cloud this morning, enough for drip drip, but cleared around 1pm, icy again now, slippy as 'ell, -1.6C now

[Dancerwithwings]

Very slippery out, 0.3C ATM, temps will rise overnight, around 2c come the morning rush hour,

Oh! i forgot most are still on their Xmas hols... went in just for one day this week, it was a great lovely crisp cold morning and no traffic

Most people off till next Monday. Great feeling and much to do with how Christmas and New Year fall this year. Nice to know most dont have to go back to work instantly on the 2nd. Inevitably some will but allows people to have some extra well deserved rest.
