High up in the north cotswolds - what do others reckon ? 5cm, 10cm I'm hoping 15 cm. I can get my skies out if so. Brilliant round here when we have snow - just a few to many hedges . Please don't disappoint me....

Overnight low of -8.1C and currently -3.0C

I reckon I'm gonig to be lucky lucky lucky.. In terms of snow that is..

It's funny how a few miles make a difference. My brother lives in Darmouth Park near the back end of Hamsptead Heath and he's had 3 frosts this week alone, the coldest being -2.3C. He'd a good inch an half of snow the other morning. Is this another north vs south london thing ?

Well I've been most disappointed. I was hoping to get a decent covering last night but what did I get? A sprinkle at best. On the plus side I did have my hardest frost so far this year. Got down to -3.1 at 11:50 pm Clouds are bubbling up now though so maybe I'll get something in a bit. Currently 2.C precisely.

My top tip is cyclamen. They are everywhere at the moment (some are beautifully scented) and work well out doors esp in tubs. In terms of bulbs i have some dwarf iris which seem to come up these days before snow drops in bring colour in early/mid jan. Winter flowering pansies are good as other people have mentioned but can be popular with any slugs still around. If you've the right soil some heathers will flower for you too. You could also try things that get berries. There's a shrub called Callicarpa which has unusual purple berries that last throughout the winter and it has a smallish habit so easily grown in a tub. Wych Hazel also gives some winter colour if you've more room. Other small shrubs that can work well with nice flowers (some scented) are viburnums winter jasmines and winter box which has highly wscentede flowers from chrismtas til about Feb... Use to work in a garden centre.. Hope this helps

Lovely sunny day of for a walk in the woods to see if I can find sopme cob nuts. Currently 2.3C over night low of -3.9C

John Hammond (as his Dad was my physics teacher) Suzanne Charlton. Ian McCAskill for his teetering on the verge of excitement breathlessness. My worst - Sian Lloyd... *shudders*

I'm still cold ! Noqw reached the heady heights of -2.2C and it's grey grey grey all the way... Just hold me back from all this excitement !

Overnight low of -4.5C currently static since 10am ish at -3.0C I'm cold !

Perishingly cold here still was up at -1.4C about 11 but now gone back down -2.2C .. Mist gone but had a few snow grains... Very quiet and still birds and animals doing a thing.. Chickens refusing to leave the coop, giving me that 'you must be mad kind of look.. Don't blame them !

Strange weather day for me.. The temp has droped as the day has porgressed from a high if 1.4C at 9am this morning to -1.2C now.... Wasn't forecast to be anything like this....

A high of 4.C with an overnight low of of -0.7 C. Should be cooler tonight though..

I can report snow showers for the 27th all day on and off but nothing substantial (about 1 cm lying) Twi showeres yesterday - again pathetic but pretty to watch.. I'm hoping for something more substantial tonight tomorrow as the front passes over me.. keeping fingers crossed..

very penetrating frost on saturday night. Windy and minus 7.1 C coldest of the year... Bird bath frozen solid.. Had a little bit of sleet or it could have been frozen rain when the front moved through on sunday..

Another one for me too at -1.8C I think thats 16 in total for me since October! Not bad for a southerner

I'm doing a back dated report here was too busy to do it at the time. The snow event in gloucestershire on Monday 28th I got 11cm of snow in just over 4hrs. Could have been more but I didn't measure the depth until early on the tuesday morning. Obviously this is just for the snow leagues as my competitive streak has come out :lol:

One longer shower obvernight which led to an covering of about 3 - 4 cm and I've had 3 flurries during the day so far none of which have amounted to anything ...

After a overnight low of -6 C. Today is has risen to the heady heights of -0.4C (v murky) so I've had a ice day ... Currently -0.8C

Was just shy of -5C last night at -4.9C , still hovering at just under freezing now.

Lovely crisp whiteness this morning. I recorded an overnight low of - 2.7 C and the chickens didn't much fancy coming out until gone 10 this morning - normally they're up and out as soon as i open the hutch door.... See what tonight brings I reckon i might just manage a -4
