[Guest]

Just looked at SW Greenland - the weather there is positively balmy with +8C in places!

[loubie_4]

Currently -2C here on the Merseyside/West Lancs border. Another frost with a little high cloud giving the sky that lovely pinkish hue. Doubt we'll get any precipitation at all now looking at that little system breaking down.

[NorthernRab]

Currently -5'C in Inverness. Fog rolling in, potentially yet another ice-day.

[johnholmes]

wow, clearer skies than for several days, if this carries on the sun will be visible as it rises, yipee it is, no air frost but another ground frost.

[Koppite]

Cloudy dull and cold after a slight overnight frost.

[PLANET THANET]

Cloudy,damp (sleety/rain), and +3c

[Kent Snow]

4.1C, recent rain, broken cumulus, wind from the E, 1028mb.

[NorthernRab]

-5.5'C with a freezing fog, due to the temperature having dropped considerably over the last few hours, I'd say another ice-day is possible. If it materialises, it will be the sixth consecutive ice-day here

[Terminal Moraine]

The temperature continued to rise slowly overnight, reaching a max' of 0.9c at 0900, most of the thick rime has thawed from the trees as a result. A thin scattering of snow grains lying this morning but the cloud sheet has now broken and the sun is out for the first time this year.

Wind is 12 mph N

Yesterday, 01 January 2009

Has been an overcast night with a moderate frost. Minimum –3.0c. Grass minimum –4.3c. The day continued overcast, dull and cold with the temperature hovering around freezing all day. A few snow grains were noted at times. The night continued overcast with a little sleet and snow, but with a slow rise in temperature, so by early morning the maximum of 0.8c for the 24 hour period had been reached.

Another below freezing night, current temp around -1C, at 09.00 we had our first taste of sleet/snow which came down in 10 minutes and covered the roads/paths instantly due to the cold ground.

If we do get a shot at the forecasted snow Monday, it might be fun!

[MP-R]

Colder last night down to -4.3C but thick clud and fog again this morning is preventing the temperature rising much after -2C. Might be in for another ice day.

Nice pic *AL*. As you say, if it ever does snow here, it could very fun indeed. At least some people are getting a taste of wintriness falling.

[sunny scunny]

Much brighter today which makes a nice change after the previous cloudy days.

less cold aswell at 3c

[NorthernRab]

Temperature now down to -6.4'C with that freezing fog having got quite thick now.

[Tom D]

The cloud is lifting and the sun is coming out! 1.4c.

[NorthernRab]

-7'C, freezing fog.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Sub zero here with frequent light snow flurries.

[Nights King]

It has just got above freezing for first time in 4 days. current temp 0.1

Dont think the winter wonderland is going to last the day today i can feel a thaw coming. :-(

[JamieUK]

Morning all,

erm, i dont want to sound stupid, but if the temperature is set to be -2/-3C how can precipitation that is being forecast be sleet? (id of thought it would be snow?) Im referring to areas in the midlands on Weds 7th January.

Weather here is clear with a temperature of 1C. Overnight temp with a low of -3

[Oblix]

Oddly enough same here, I'm in Reading (at work) and in the last 20mins the cloud has broken up and the sun has come out for the first time in about 5 days.

I might actually be able to ride home tonight without freezing to death halfway home
