Temp has stalled here at -1.4c this last few hours. Breeze just stopping it going lower. Few spots further south were at -5c a few hours ago. Could be a minus 10c somewhere.
I certainly think there should be more official weather stations. The NRA has a great network of roadside stations in the Republic. I'm pretty sure a weather station somewhere along the clogher valley could record some very low temperatures on frosty nights with an inland location and decent sized hills on either side.
Most I've seen is 2 goldfinch on mine. Serious amount of tits, robins, chaffinches. Bring great colour and noise to the garden this time of year. Could watch them for hours. They badly need the peanuts and sunflower hearts in this weather.
Nearly noon and the temp is only 0.4c, could be the coldest day yet. Total feeding frenzy on my bird feeders. Do many on here put out food for the birds?
Top temp today of 3.6c and currently -0.1c. serious amount of snow has survived in shaded areas, roads are lethal. Some lovely winter walks this last week and really don't want it to end!
-0.5c here after briefly hitting -0.7c. cloud had definitely increased. Ground is dry and frozen solid so if I don't get laying snow from this I'm moving.
Incredible day out. Cold crisp and clear. Temp up to 2.1c. hopefully be sub zero before the front arrives tonight so will be a major bust if we don't see laying snow, however little.
