Rapid change here recently with a veil of Cs as the wave approaches from the west.

[jethro]

Lovely frosty start to the day here, hope the rain stays away until at least late afternoon.

[Frosty hollows]

Beautiful white frost. Still what do you expect from the Frosty Hollows of Benson. Pretty chilly at -5.1 c

[jtay]

Cracking start to the day.

Min of -1.6C at 06:50hrs.

Mapantz, your sub zero duck must have been broken too?

Stunning clear morning, frosty, -1.2c .

Down at -3.1 for me - lovely start to the day...

 

[knocker]

It's a bit annoying as I decided not to venture out earlier but now quite a lot of blue sky as the rain tracks to the south.

[fromey]

Wow first proper frost since I don’t know when low of -1.7c over night 

 

[lettice]

A light frost here too, 1.6c at 6am
Lovely sunshine now, blue skies, 4.5c
1-3 mph NE wind.

[matt111]

Finally an air frost last night with a low of -0.8°C. Nice and sunny at the moment and feeling fresher than the last few days.

Just looking over the charts and weather forecasting apps and its looking like a chance of snow for our region above the M4 corridor. Late Saturday looking a possibility. Now thats out the way the rest of us can look forward to some cold rain on Saturday but then next week is looking dry!!!!

On the plus side, I can get totally buckled, as it will be February

never again!!!!

Is that a new way of saying the dreaded ‘north of the M4’ without actually saying that?

No, it will be at 00:00.01 

I’m  drier than the Sahara!!

Been a long bloody month, I don’t recommend it!

Maybe you’ll be able to toast the long awaited snowfall arriving.

Bring it on 

[Mapantz]

Drizzle approaching!

[knocker]

Been a funny old day. Now Stratus and continuous slight rain.

[Andy Bown]

I've just driven from Trowbridge to Warminster and it was fascinating to see the whole Western to Southern sky covered in a bank of Stratocumulus as the Warm Front approaches while the rest of the sky remained clear, rather rare not to have Cirrus as a precursor to a front.

Might have to bring the washing in before it drizzles.

On a side note, Karlos, if the chart you posted in the model thread for a fortnights time comes off then I can kiss goodbye to earning much bonus money doing outdoor work while my wife is on half term break!

It would not be pleasant for us that’s for sure. Luckily it’s the CFS.

He's clever is ol' Karlos, posting that keeps the Yay folks saying "Yay", and the Nay folks saying "Nay", a win win post if you ask me

The crew are preparing to remove this winters obstacle, namely the M4, explosives at the ready!

Clouded over here but still dry with the sun still coming out occasionally.
