2.1C but clouding over now? anyhow there's a frigid easterly wind that really is raw feeling, and condensation on cars has frozen, but not on all cars.. only white or light coloured ones it would seem.

 Congratulations. You are colder than me at last.  2.8°C here.

Another air frost, current temp -0.2 degrees. Lost count of the number we've had over the past 2-3 weeks, quite a run. The past 4 weeks have been excellent in the Lake District, the complete opposite to last year when we were ominously staring at an exceptional flooding event. We've had predominantly dry, sunny cold frosty calm weather, with sporadic outbreaks of mostly light rain, apart from the odd day here and there. We've had two snowfalls as well, indeed Friday 18 brought notable low level snowfall.

Alas, it had to come to an end sometime, one more day of cold dry sunny weather and its back to mild wet gunk thanks to the dreaded southwesterly. Thankfully there are signs it will be a shortlived such affair, perhaps a week or so tops, but to expect dry weather to continue through early December was always going to be a tall order. I can cope with a few wet very mild days, provided they come to an abrupt end quickly paving the way for something much more seasonal in the run up to christmas.

Just about to tick over to 0C. Not as cold as I expected. 

[Chris.R]

 Temp is stuck here and has been for hours. 1.7°C. It would've been nice to get a final air frost before  The breakdown. 

[SP1986]

0.8C here but some frost around also. 

I notice stations in the east have plummeted in the last few hours. that would suggest the frigid continental air has reached there overnight... but not quite here

Nice sun rise and freezing this morning:

2.2C here but stable despite clear skies. 

Mild air will soon infiltrate all layers and overturn this inversion.

[Chris.R]

 3.1°C and rising slowly now. Minimum this morning was 1.7°C. Hasn't really been much of an inversion since early last week around here.

horrid yes, we are miles away from snow, so might as well be 14°, not around 3° we have here, dosen't look any different so may as well be warm

[cheshire snow]

LOL one GEFS ENS has Liverpool under -13 uppers by the 23rd December 

The vast majority are around -7 uppers so it looks like a cold Frosty Christmas is

More a possibility than a white one lot better than the,current Temperature of

12c here.

Currently 14.6C @ 13:00 so quite possible we'll make 15C. 

My energy meter is already showing the benefit, roll on another mild winter. 

[Chris.R]

Wow this is incredible! Temp has shot up  within the last few hours and it is now 15.0°C. I am outside in shorts and a T-shirt and it feels nice. I might have a bbq later.

 Not as high here but still rising actually. Currently 15.2°C. Monday had a Max of just 4.2°C; what a rise. . 

[SP1986]

Well in that area of Southwest Wirral stretching to Hawarden it will only a degree off the record. But that happens relatively frequently in Foehn winds.

 it's gone on holiday to America for a bit. I'm still pretty optimistic it will pay us a visit again around Christmas week though.

A balmy 13.8c here on a winters night,no wonder I've got a banging headache

A horrible day's weather in these parts, misty throughout with fog covering the  tops and when several hours of rain decided to move off elsewhere, it was quickly replaced by several more of damp and drizzle.

all in all, two days of pure winter yuk and even the supposed very mild temperatures felt disappointing given the lack of even a brief glimpse of sunshine.

where has the promised December cold gone.

[Chris.R]

 The moon was visible before and it's colder than forecast now. Currently 7.8°C. The max today was 12.7°C in the early hours.

10 mm of rain fell today, the first significant rain for 15 days. 

[Day 10]

God I hate mild in Dec. For me though, especially round here, Boxing Day through to mid March has always been our best shout for snow. So no frustration yet, let's hope some decent cold charts start showing from mid month or so.

[Day 10]

Anyone know how to change profile name? I think Day 10 is far more apt than Minus 10! However as you can see Day 10 has appeared under my original name
