    A slushy dusting of snow as it gets light here in Caterham-on-the-hill, Surrey. Was more on the ground earlier but has melted as snow turned to sleet as it started to clear recently.

    Hi Nick, I’m in the valley between old coulsdon and farthing downs on it snowed for a small time but has gone. Walking up to old coulsdon (185m) there is a similar picture to the one you posted. It looks like the cut off was around 170m. Fine margins, but shows just what a difference elevation can make even locally.

  2. Last night it got down to -8.7c here and with some high level cloud coming over itis now up to -2.9c. I've just been looking at my weather station data for the week and it can most definately be said to be an icy week. I've had just 7 hours above freezing since last sunday. 6.5 hours were on Monday where i had the highest temp of the week at +0.6c.There was 1/2 hour above freeze from 12:40 -13:10 on Tuseday and since then it has not been above freezing. The lowest temp was thursday night/friday morning when it got down to -10.9c. Today marks the 7th consecutive day of lying snow and unlike other events, the cover is still much as it was on Sunday, even the trees still have a think coating on branches and foliage.

    It will end tomorrow/monday but Winter is far from over, we are only 17 days in, and ive a feling there is a lot more to come.

    I didn't know that - does that mean they'll take longer to come into leaf in spring?

     

    This is actually good for trees, especially friut trees such as apples and pears as it means they conserve energy going into a dormant state, its like getting a really good nights sleep.  If it is mild then never really shutdown so it can cause reduced crops the following year.

  4. the weather warning this evening was for snow from west country where it would be heavier to a light dusting as it moved further east. those hard lines on the warnings are for guidense, in reailty it's a fuzzy line so showers showing up in baisingstoke and littlehampton might be expected. It does appear though that it might come a bit further east so there might be a few lampposts being watched in hampshire and west sussex, possibly west surrey.
