The fog here is nuts!

You could take the copter out and test the return to base function

[Nights King]

no fog at all here just a plain old average day. 

[ARTDEMOLE]

No fog here. Plenty of sunshine instead.  Clear with stars out. 5.0c.

[Dorsetbred]

Right we're going in...0.9°C (33.6°F), Apparent temp -0.6°C and thick fog..

[Frosty hollows]

Damp evening. Temperatures currently 2.9C ...first evening in ages we've not had temps below zero after dark!

[karlos1983]

-0.1c now, can barely see the end of my drive 

[festivalking]

Brilliant sunny day here for what I could see from the office  Now 2.9c still got a chance of seeing snow falling here on Thursday morning.

[Lyn-M]

Currently +1.2°C and misty rather than foggy.

[matt111]

Had a sudden rise in temperature not long ago. Went from 0.9°C  to 2.4°C which is the highest today. Still very foggy and dropped to 2.2°C.

I think you might have just caught the edge of the cloud that moved down from the North West. Probably drop again now

How do you think the met/BBC are picking up on this signal? Very light flurries as per the other night? 

[Mapantz]

Temps have flat-lined at -0.3°C

Impressive for the past 24 hours:

An average temperature of -0.7°C today.

Well, I've decided to move my hosting to a London based datacentre. I'm paying too much for my current hosting, and looking at what I get for that money, I can get better for less money.
I've done a backup of my whole home directory on my hosting, and downloaded it. I have to upload my whole site to the new hosting, point the new nameservers to my domain name, and generally do a lot of faffing. It may take some time!

The site will be down for a few hours tomorrow as well- electricians will be in, so no power for a period of time.

On the plus side, the new hosting offer free SSL certificates for my domain name, so I can use https:// which is more secure. My current hosting charge £40 a year for one certificate. :s

Looks like a very cold south south East flow on Thursday so I reckon a bit of moisture is being picked up in the channel. If it was summer it would be light drizzle low cloud. I suspect if it does it will just a few grains. Still nice to see. The signal though is weak so I live in hope not in expectation.

A clear and fairly sunny day here, spared the gloomy fog in this area. Temp high of 7.4, dropped back down now to -0.3.

[matt111]

Must be right on the edge of that cloud still as the temperature keeps going up and down. Currently on the way down again after going back up to 2.2°C.

[Mapantz]

A drop to -0.4°C after 4 hours at -0.3°C lol

Lucky its not freezing at ground level as the fog has been so bad, everything is dripping wet, as if there has been rain.

New hosting is fast!

[Frosty hollows]

I can't believe frosty hollows here is reporting 2.8C while you've finally got your sub zeroes!

[Dorsetbred]

Mornin all currently  -1.3°C (29.7°F), Apparent temp -3.1°C and foggy. Has to be said the fog has thinned slightly overnight.

[Andy Bown]

Beautiful looking south from Trowbridge towards Salisbury Plain.

[Paul Corfield]

After another freezing and foggy night there is black ice everywhere in Wimborne again this morning. Driveway and patio are like skating rinks.

Paul.

[jethro]

Morning all, another clear and frosty morning here, currently -0.4 with an overnight low of -0.8, everything white and crispy again.

I know we haven't had any snow this year but it's been a great winter for frosty weather, I also know there's a fair chance I'm going a bit senile, but I really can't remember the last time we had so many frosts - seems like years. Makes such a lovely change from the usual mild, wet muck of a typical winter here. If we can't have snow, long may it continue :-)

[fromey]

morning all. -4.3c dew -6.3.

wasn't expecting it to be this cold, went to bed at 22;30 and temps were well above 0c.
