Where's your poll my man??! Wintry showers on a stiff westerly breeze. Hopefully some snow by the morning (in my dreams!).

Robbie, i have discussed this with a few others before. since the board changed some of the topics the old weather reports topic seemed to be merged with a general chat topic too. then all of a sudden someone decided to add a poll to the topic as well the trouble i have with the poll is

1. sometimes less then 50% of posts use the poll, sometimes not even 30%
   
2. unless you are posting later in the day, how can you say whether you liked the days weather?
   
3. with so many threads open discussing the models/current weather/mood/etc etc is there any need for a poll?

A warm welcome on this chilly but clear winter's morning. Nice sunrise appearing here over Bristol, the Sun picking-out aeroplane contrails in various shades of ever-brightening orange. Not much cirrus about so the sunrise is not all that spectacular.

Promising signs of a Scandi High trying to build around Christmas, but the charts may not be as promising nearer the time.

[John in the frozen north]

Quite cool for our warm spell. Only 4.5C and sleety rain just started (definitely ice in it so probably snow on high north pennines - Alston, Allenheads?).

Mild spell?! What mild spell!

Not even 5c here!

[da_bish]

5c in Witney, Oxfordshire. Started out nice and sunny with a promise of 10c. Now overcast around 5000ft.

[SP1986]

Can I just assure that those who doubt 10C, it will occur, however the maximum temperatures applies for today until midnight, and there is 10 hours for 10C to occur. The temperature occurring is no different to what it was forecast to be at this stage.
