Last night was the Coldest March night in the 14 year history of Pollard's Hill Weather Station, Just breaking the previous record of -3.2c set on March 5th 2001.

Here is the log of last night...

Midnight.....-1.5c

1am.....-2.8c

2am.....-3.0.c

3am.....-3-3c (New Record)

4am.....-2.9c

5am.....-2.4c

6am.....-1.6c

7am.....-0.5c

The Temp began to rise after 3am as Clear Skies were replaced by Cloudy conditions, otherwise we could have been talking about something like -4c....

Snow during the early hours of this morning gave 2cm which had almost completely thawed by 0930. Sleet shower around 1015 was followed by a heavy shower of snow, graupel and soft hail from 1100-1115, this was enough to whiten all the bare patches in the fields for 15 minutes.

Sunny spells and a few light snow and soft hail showers this afternoon.

Amazing how quickly a fresh cover of snow will thaw compared to the old stuff which has thawed a little and re-frozen half a dozen times.

Today is the 15th consecutive day with snow falling here, when the spell ends I'll look back through the record to see how long it is since a similar spell.
