Snowing offshore

Fair bit of snow here and looks like going to get a bit more before it turns to sleet. Unexpected 6 miles from the sea at low elevation this early in the season.

Looks lovely here

It's Baltic in Lincolnshire but has been sunny today. Low of nearly -6 last night, got up to -2 shortly after lunch but back to -4. All trees and hedges covered in rime. Really pretty but has just colder day by day for the last week. I thought yesterday was going to be coldest but apparently not.

No snow but cold definitely here now. Only dropped to 1C last night but only up to 2.6C at noon today and it has been bright all morning (couple of very light showers). Take that at the start of an at least week long cold spell. Very interesting times ahead and im hopeful we will get snow at some point. really want kids to be able to go on a Christmas lights walk when its snowing. Takes it all to another level in my humble opinion.

Whist artic air doesn't arrive for a couple of days it's a bit milder here than I would like ( currently 7.5 degrees). Bit worried that highish SSTs will mean marginal conditions near the coast. However, I'm sure we will be seeing big shower clouds over the sea from late Weds onwards. Just hope there are some disturbances in the flow or an easterly component at some stage to get the showers to come inland. A good part of Lincolnshire doesnt stick out enough if there is a westerly element to the flow. The positive thing is that there have been a lot of heavy showers over the past couple of days (uppers not cold but flow has been off the sea) so with cold uppers and low thicknesses maybe it won't be particularly dry. Overall very interesting and quite hopeful

Merry Christmas all. Dry, bright and fairly cold in Lincolnshire. At least dew point is sub zero and its not raining. I kind of worry that the pre Christmas meltdown of properly festive weather prospects might have been my fault. My weather station had been off line for about three months but on basis of models pulled out the stops to get it working again. Within 12 hours of me doing this all had gone t***s up. Sorry
