    An overnight low of minus 4.8c in the frozen northern lake district. Temp already below freezing. The summit of Blencathra retains it's snow cover.
  2. jimben
    Overnight low of -5c at the moment in the northern Lake District
  3. jimben
    Overnight low of -0.4c. Snow visible on Sharp Edge. Blencathra summit obscured. Snow also observed on summits of Great Dodd and Clough Head

    Went for speed today so Scales Fell as that is my end of the hill. A winter crossing of Sharp Edge in full alpine splendour is the stuff that dreams are made of, although roped with iceaxecrampon (forgive me) feels safer than crossings at other times of the year. Love Halls Fell route and getting in the gullies and having a look round especially if we get a good cycle of thaw/refreeze.

    Love how so many get sucked in by the pub-run time after time, year after year.

    Overnight low of -0.7c slight air frost visible at daybreak. Blencathra and Great Dodd have summit snow. 2,500 feet seems to be the snowline. Heavy snow expected over Blencathra this afternoon.

    Heavy showers started at mid-day with some hail mixed in but now a covering of snow on top of Blencathra wooohooo
  12. jimben
    No sign of any snow on top of Blencathra

    Absolutely. Won't be going away near until it will take a crampon

    Heavy dew, almost a ground frost in the rural northern lakes with a min air temp of 3.8c. Now one of those heart stopping moments of cloudless blue skies although cloud now starting to cling to the summit of Blencathra. I have recorded rainfall for the last 15 days. Unlikely any will be recorded to today.

    My first frost (ground) this season just up the road from you was on 16 September. Temp has dropped below freezing on 17/09 and 13/10
  18. jimben
    Air Frost. Minimum of -0.8c. Sunny blue skies.

    Plenty of minor roads flooded in the northern lake district but all passable with care. The waterfalls and becks all full and impressive. Really beautiful to see all the becks pouring down the fellside. Thirlmere will be grateful for these recent heavy rains as I am sure will Haweswater.

    Hi Damian, Still getting to grips with the local vagaries of the weather up here. I note that the weather system that is moving into the Lake District later today is coming from the north east. During the winter are systems from this direction more likely to be wintry. Many thanks. Jim

    Squall line developed just to the south of me will be very wild in a little while
  22. jimben
    Distant flashes to the south of me in the northern lake district, fantastic lighting up of Great Dodd and Clough Head
  23. jimben
    Dry and sunny with a low of 6.9c. Pressure falling.

    Another chilly night with a min of 5.7c following a min of 3.3c for the previous night. Lovely sunny blue skies this morning in the northern lake district. Excellent visibility with all fells both near and far visible.
