Last March will take some beating!!! That was insane...

It was. A couple of decent snowfalls, ice days even here by the coast and freezing rain all in the space of a couple of days. Then another decent snowfall later in the month

Still you're in a better location now than back then.  

[matt111]

Yet another mild night, hardly dropped from what it was during the day. 9.4°C

Good morning 

[Andy Bown]

Stars = clear sky!! 5.6c .

[Dorsetbred]

Bit of blue stuff, with white bits here and there and a yellow thingy. Colourful day today..oh and it's 7.6C to boot..

[MP-R]

Good lord it's sunny!

[Mapantz]

Milky sunshine today. Temp 10.2°C.

Bargain of the century arrived!

[matt111]

Blue skies here which is nice after the gloomy last few days. 9.5°C

[Mapantz]

A bit unfortunate here. It's clear blue skies one direction and a veil of cloud in the opposite one. The movement of the cloud seems to be in sync with Earth rotation, meaning that the sunshine isn't here.

It's gone from 16 days away to 10 days away in a time span of 12 days. That means, if I can still do maths that if it keeps being pushed back at the same rate, we will get very cold weather on... 

the 27th January! Remember you heard it here first lol! 

You may yet prove right ....

[Frosty hollows]

I have risen from the pit of anticyclonic gloom to declare.....the sun is out,  the sky is blue,etc 

[Lyn-M]

Same here, Mapantz.  Blue sky has been tantalisingly close to overhead for several hours but never quite making it.

Views to NE and SW a couple of minutes ago.

Got it new for £99.95

The 4000 series was superseded by the 5000 series so old stock was going cheap. The nearest price I can find on other sites is £300. When it came out in 2015, it was over £700. I'm well chuffed! Tons of measurements on it, including a compass/altimeter/barometer etc. 

My 3000 died on me, after 12 years. I didn't want to get anything too expensive, so when I found the 4600, I couldn't resist it.

Yeah. It does the wet bulb global temperature and the natural wet bulb. It has a data logger built in too, so you bring graphs up on it or send the data to a PC.

[CheesepuffScott]

Temperature is dropping away nicely already, 7.2°C

Everything is brightening up in the MAD thread. Although I firmly believe this very cold spell will happen now, I've promised myself not to get excited until this time next week as it is still a long way off. If it all goes wrong, which I'm sure it won't because everything has always pointed to late Jan, Feb and Mar being cold, the MAD thread will go mental! That's the main thing I'm worried about. One thing I know is there is a chance of there being a model wobble along the way which will derail the thread and then you know what. I just want these next week to 2 weeks to be gone; I NEED MY SNOW FIX!!! AND NOT JUST FROM YOUTUBE VIDEOS!!!
