Another cold and grey day here in Telford today with a biting gusty wind which made it surprising that the fog never lifted properly.

Quite surprising really as areas not to far north & west have reached 4-6c now whilst its not even 1c here yet.

Current conditions:

Weather: Cloudy/Windy

Temp: 0.7c

Dewpoint: 0c

Wind: SSW 12mph

Max Temp: 0.7c

Min Temp: -4.6c

[Stargazer]

Overcast, misty and very cold, with light snow this morning. The first ice day here since I moved to Reading in 2002. Maximum -0.2 after an overnight minimum of -4.1. Perhaps the coldest day since New Year's Day 1997, when I believe it didn't rise above -2 over most of southern England.

[Andy Bown]

I think the milder air is arriving because the temperature is now 1.6c having been 0.8c a few hours ago. We have partly cloudy sky and a gentle SW breeze.

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

After a min of -7.3C its the end of a pretty amazing cold spell!

[Karen]

Well I think that the - 0.89 combined with the wind chill of - 4 that we have had earlier today, made it feel colder than most of the actual cold days put together. It fair "bit" your cheeks and ears on the horse paddock today. :lol:

A bitterly cold day today, and some of the best rime i've ever seen!

A MAXIMUM of -2.3C, now -3.5 again.

The wind got up around 1pm, causing the rime to blow off the trees, leaving what looked like a centimetre of snow cover under some trees.

We still have some snow cover here from earlier on in the week, quite incredible really for the "even larger teapot" considering there was less than half an inch to begin with.

Looking like a possible ice day in London City, temp at 6PM -0.7C, which also the max for the day.

How many times does London City have an ice day? Must be exceedingly rare these days.

Yeah I'm guessing it doesn't happen too often as well! The mild air might reach there before the day is out though, but it stayed below 0C during daylight hours.

After a clear and frosty start to the day it clouded over and became very misty, the frost has persisted all day in some areas.

[HighPressure]

Temps in the SE are now starting to pickup Kenley was -2.6 an hour ago now -1.8 we could be back to @0 by midnight and wake up to plus temps so its slowly making its way down here.

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

London now at 0.0C, the ice day has gone.

[Iceni]

Took the dogs out for a walk before it got dark, some impressive rime deposits on the trees and hedgerows. I suspect it is getting somewhat milder, as now -1.2C, compared with -3.5 at 1pm. But with the wind picking up, and the fog you could see the rime deposits growing. Pretty bitter, but fun because the dogs came back clean, seeing as everything is frozen solid. An ice day? Well yesterday was, but I suspect it will touch and go whether temperatures remain below freezing here until midnight. Its only a statistic.

I think it's our second ice day in a row only got up to –0.7C yesterday. Still crazy cold here –3.4C, just half a degree warmer than it was this time last night. I shall feel bereft when it's gone

I was thinking today that I prefer a hoar frost to snow visually. Every detail is picked out with ice crystals but you still get the colour variation... snow just covers everything.

Here's some pictures of the scenery. I've never seen it so frozen in the 7 years I've been living here and won't forget the past few days (in a nice way ).

thought it was supposed to get warmer - its still -0.4C in Gosport I'm not happy, in fact I'm quite sad !

Wattisham, Suffolk -2.5C

Kenley, Gtr London -2.4C

London Heathrow AP -1.9C

Northolt, Gtr London -1.9C

We've had a recorded low, at midday, of -4.0C and Wattisham (the closest MetO to me) is currently recording -3.1 °C, so it's getting warmer even if we've been below zero all day. I shall miss the cold, dry weather and dread a return to the sinking, swallowing Suffolk mud.

Rather breezy & cloudy here in Telford.

Still chilly at 1.6c.

Took the 3 children in to the park today with the not very intrepid plan to "walk round the lake". The park was largely empty of people but full of winter sights that stopped you in your tracks. Proper old style hoar frost that you could flick off the branches and watch spin and dance, ancient oaks and chestnuts standing solid against cold that they must have thought had long gone, and waterbirds here for the easy mild ride, no doubt looking for a refund. The lake was mostly like concrete that had nearly gone off, covered in unfeasibly large and increasingly heavy testers chucked out by the locals, all of which sat on the ice challenging the senders to go and get them. My children I guess could have walked right across but being a responsible chap I took the view that if the ice creaked under my 14 stone their combined 8 could be a worry. We still managed some decent sliding where it normally runs deeper. On top of our recent experience in West Wales where sea cliffs hung with icicles, and beaches mixed sand with ice and you could run you fingers over rock covered with verglas, this winter still feels pretty old fashioned. Interesting that everyone out and about today appeared to be there because they loved the scene, the cold, the feel and, mostly, the fun of it all.
