We'll see.

lovely day here now though after a damp start.

a couple of quick inside jobs to do and then an afternoon doing a bit of tidying up in the garden by the looks of it.

Lucky you I'm in loft trying to find an electrical fault as  the electricians that charged me 6 k for rewiring 2 years ago has packed in 

[Day 10]

Looking forward to seeing snow on the news again soon in this up and coming cold spell, 4 years and counting to see it outside the window.

If the forecast is to be believed then I could be looking at the first snow of the winter for this part of the region tomorrow afternoon.

not expecting more than a slushy mess but it's a start and signs are promising for plenty more chances in the coming weeks.

in the short term though, what a lovely day today, dry, sunny and cold, very seasonal but a decent day to wrap up and get out.

preferably a good long walk but in my case, it looks like it's around shops

Is it being dragged around them by your Mrs? Worst kind of shopping that! Infact any kind of shopping!!

METO Going for an overnight low of -4c tonight

I think that will be the lowest over night temperature this year

 My prediction for tonight here is 0.8°C but if we can squeeze a little bit of Easterly component into the wind direction then an air frost is entirely possible. 

[Mokidugway]

Doesn't feel it will go that cold here but wind has dropped so expecting a degree or two of frost ,heads up looks like a nice sunset tonight

Nice for it to be seasonal for a change.  Too many recent years November and Decembers have been mild, rain soaked and sodden.  Second sunday night frost in a row tonight no doubt after a sunny but chilly day.  Temperatures are on the way down.  After a brief mild mid-week blip, we could be looking at another cold one next weekend.

Aye its a cold one tonight- probs get below freezing and tomorrow looks cold before the rain moves in- next weekend onwards looks very cold.

Nice receding belt of Venus there 

[toggerob]

A plus side for tonight is that just before the sun rises in the morning there's a 35min window of opportunity to have a cloudless uninterrupted view of the Venus/Jupiter conjunction. Both planets will be visible just a degree or two apart to the southeast, rising at 6:10am making the spectacle looking like one large bright star without optical assistance.

Evidence of the cold upper air today at 400 metres today - ground partly frozen in sheltered northern parts and with a strong wind, it felt arctic. Nice dusting of snow on some of the fells as well - only a smidge but good to see. I think next week will deliver the first proper cover of the season - a temporary one tomorrow, but something longer lasting by the weekend.

Another air frost expected tonight, third Monday morning in a row waking up to a frozen scene.
