[Ross B]

-5c already!

[Thundery wintry showers]

Tyneside has completely missed the wintry weather this time round, in stark contrast with the previous cold snap where Tyneside was one of the heaviest affected areas. On 27 and 28 December we maxed at 4 or 5C, and it was sunny with showers restricted to regions west of the Pennines. Last night got down to -2C and today was sunny and frosty with a maximum of 2 or 3C, frost on the ground all day, and snow showers drifting along the North Sea.

A pleasant enough spell IMO with the sunshine and the frost, but where did the widespread shower activity that I mistakenly predicted go?

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Got to a high of -2.4 today, and is already -7.4C...looking like getting well below -10C tonight. Plenty of snow on the northern Pennines and Lake District hills...none at my level, but with all this frost...who cares!

[a swiss guy]

[Supercell]

Tyneside has completely missed the wintry weather this time round, in stark contrast with the previous cold snap where Tyneside was one of the heaviest affected areas.  On 27 and 28 December we maxed at 4 or 5C, and it was sunny with showers restricted to regions west of the Pennines.  Last night got down to -2C and today was sunny and frosty with a maximum of 2 or 3C, frost on the ground all day, and snow showers drifting along the North Sea.

Indeed. Apart from the temps it's been like high summer here today. Not a cloud in sight, despite Tyne Tees weather promising scattered wintry showers throughout the area. Reading the other posts I feel I'm in a different country - the only wind up here is coming from shoppers rushing through shopping malls for the sales and the bright sunshine is a major traffic hazard. Would someone please remind the snow clouds that the UK has a region known as the north east and they are very welcome here.

Very cold across Scotland tonight!

Already a teeth-chattering minus 10 in Loch Glascarnoch. I'm sure we would see something around -15 in the most sheltered glens into tomorrow morning.

-1C here, clear skies, light breeze. Frosty & icy.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Now it's -9.4C and dropping still. Do I have my thermometre in the freezer? Guess you could say I live in a bit of a frost pocket; nearly 700ft up, 40 miles inland and surrounded by fells, the cold air just seems to roll in to the village. Tonight is our 21st night of air frost this month....I love it!!
