Frosty hollows

Slightly to the west of you guys but we had sleet before the rain tonight at low levels

Raining now, but I'm convinced it was preceded by some sleet. Temp on the up with the rain passing through

I think there's a channel between the M4 and M40 , where I live, which is totally unremarkable apart from cold

Been a lot windier here than I'd expected. Had a good post xmas clear out of crap,placed it by the bins and some has ended up annoying my neighbours. Oooppss!

I got a weather station from Santa. Probably doesn't qualify me to comment on the MOD thread though !

Peeing down here!

*Puts away snow boots .Again*

Thank you for a techy post which is neither patronising nor hysterical!!

Hahaha!!Mine are wallowing in the quagmire resulting from night before last's deluge. They know not to bother with the forecast until less than 48h ahead

Sunset from work this evening. Photo doesn't do the colours justice

Frosty start here too. Scraped the car and crucnchy grass underfoot, though temp didn't fall below freezing according to MetO. Now bright and sunny after a sharp shower 8C. I personally would take this as winter!!

Does that mean Oxfordshire can declare "The Cold Snap" officially open?

Hovering just above zero down the road here.It's been steadily getting colder through the week. Looks like we're gradually cooling down rather than getting a sudden cold snap.

I dip into the mod thread from time to time. I posted a couple of days back I had a gut feeling the weather would turn more seasonal from next Monday and was told to go away and collect facts which was amusing!! Lots of informed chat there, but lots way over my head and sadly a couple of really pompous people who still get it wrong despite access to the very latest tech but zero humility!Looking forward to getting the fur coats out. The snow boots are staying in the cupboard for now but I've got a sack of salt in which has probably scuppered any chance of snow!

OT...but thanks for keeping the discussion flowing. As an amateur. I'd never dare contribute to this thread, but am really interested in learning how forecasts are made (and any chance of white stuff). It's really off putting to have to wade through too much irrelevance , so from my pov, the modding is much appreciated! (Creepy post over. As you were ppl)

7c, Winds 11mph W, showers inbound. Back to grey sky groundhog for now

Never mind all those fancy charts telling that have spawned WW3 on the MOD thread, it's bloody freezing out tonight.( OK slightly exaggerated.. it's 5 slight breeze from SE. )

Oh that's lovely!

Very local! Missed me!! Been a fairly pleasant day tbh. Cool, light winds and dry. Sunrise and sunset both had birds twittering. Lovely change from the showers and winds of late.

CN building since I left Swindon Ewards. Starting to look threatening

Travelling back from Penzance to Oxfordshire. Cooler than of late. Gusty showers 17/38mph 9C when we left. Showers look as if they'll follow us east throughout the day!

The ten day forecasts on bbc and here aren't convinced anything sinister is brewing. That should help reassure you

We've seen similar predictions at a week out already this winter and each one has passed us safely. The attention seems to be on a possible cold snap now which will hopefully be calmer. Looking at the bbc 10 day forecast, there doesn't seem to anything too worrying on the horizon. (Thank goodness). Just remember there are lots of people on here who are excited by extreme weather and will focus on the possibility,no matter how small

sun had gone by the time the rain cleared..did get something just before
