Hovering just above zero down the road here.It's been steadily getting colder through the week. Looks like we're gradually cooling down rather than getting a sudden cold snap.

Does that mean Oxfordshire can  declare "The Cold Snap" officially open?

Hmmm...... Models not looking so good, just a wobble? I hope so but at this point I'd take a few flakes and a couple of sharp frosts, it would still be an improvement on last year.

Partly cloudy this morning with Cu and Sc. Temp 8C and wind SW 15mph

The cognoscenti over on the MOD thread have gone into one of their meltdowns this morning. Personally I find the formation of this low from the tropical cyclone very interesting from a meteorological perspective but even with ecm support this morning if this actually pans out as currently predicted I'll cavort naked on Brown Willy.

Cripes a frost this morning! who'd have thunk it!

 

 

The MAD thread seems to have imploded.....

Wouldn't either bother going into the MOD thread as it's all doom and gloom again. I don't know what to make of this upcoming cold spell but by the sounds of it it's going to be over before it even starts!

Mind you there are folk in there who are never happy unless the temp drops to -15c with 3 ft of snow.....I'd take -1C and a covering.

I'd take a sugar dusting and 0c after the past few winters we've had. One thing I've learnt over the years is don't get caught up too much in this weather malarkey as there's more to life lol. The weather will do what ever it wants to do.

A slight frost this morning and some ice after a shower passed over in the small hours, Net Weather radar precip type shows freezing rain colouring but goodness knows what fell.

[jtay]

Min of -0.7C overnight, which gave us a bit of ice and frost over the fields this morning.

There was a bit of mist around too and then as the Sun was making an appearance on my way home, I got caught in a brief shower.

[bellanite]

Happy New Year All.

I'm please to say we have had our first frost of 2016 here 

Been lurking in the MOD thread for the last few weeks boy they do get hyped up over each model run!

Hope we do get something wintery here in the weeks to come its been tooo long since we've had a proper pasting!!!

[A.J]

blimey, frost and ice here this morning....anyone would think it was winter! 

[knocker]

A min  last night of 3,8C and Tg of 1

[MP-R]

Actually had to scrape the windscreens this morning after it went down to 01.6C overnight. Felt more like winter for sure.

[jtay]

Weather for the week just gone...

[knocker]

Very pleasant here now with a little Ci and some small Cu. Typical on a days when I have to pop along to the docs twice.

[karlos1983]

Interesting update from Ian (via Twitter), which unfortunately got removed from the Mod Thread, although I think it is pretty relevant, but luckily that isnt my decision.

Worth a view folks.
