Warmest it's been all day, now -1.4c!

This cold spell has been one of the most memorable in my lifetime. A minimum temperature of -8.4c and not a day this year above 2c. Today has been the coldest day I've ever known by a long way. The only thing the spell has lacked is a bit more snow! Had last Monday produced a bit more we'd have had at least 6 days of laying snow!

Croydon actually had some snow during the early hours today :o

I was shocked as this was not forecast.

I decided to drive around and the trees were snowy and frosty at -4.5c :rolleyes:

Right now it is a mild 1c :unsure:

Missed an ice day yet again, the temperature breached the freezing mark at 5pm and has been increasing ever since.

Currently 1.9C and mostly cloudy with a strong wind.

Very mild night in Stockholm now.

Currently 1,8'c and the snow that is left is thawing away slowly. 17 days of continous cold weather below freezing has turned now in to a milder one. It seems that it can be so now for some days foreward until this milder spell will culminate and dryer air from the north will come down. The snow will probably be gone tomorrow, but that is because of the tiny snow amount we have at this moment, it has been just cold cold dry air from Christmas to now, barely snow. The big snow amount we have got this winter was when it began in the middle of November with the first snow fall around the 15th and by the 20th a snow cover began to form and a few days later we had blizzard conditions and depths of 20-40 cm in whole Stockholm county. But everything thawed away during the mildish first half of December! :doh:

Very cold in Norwich today. Temps struggled up to minus 1c but by mid afternoon were back down to minus 2c. However no snow. Booooo. Nice to see an ice day, first one I think round here over the past few weeks.

Some very low maxes today in the SE/ E Anglia:

Charlwood, Surrey -2.9C

Marham, Norfolk -2.6C

Andrewsfield, Essex -2.5C

Wattisham, Suffolk -2.5C

Kenley, Gtr London -2.4C

Farnborough, Hampshire -2.0C

London Heathrow AP -1.9C

Northolt, Gtr London -1.9C

Saturday 10th was the coldest day I have had at Guildford since 1st January 1997. After -6.3C last night, freezing fog and cloud resulted in a low maximum, -1.1C, which is the first ice day since 20th December 1999! The sky cleared just after 4:30 pm to reveal cirrus patches. A period of clear skies continued and temperatures reached -3.1C around 6:30 pm before beginning to rise - slowly. The frost was still present and showed no signs of thawing on returning home from work at 10 pm despite temperatures beginning to rise.

Last night would have been colder had it not been for the development of extensive fog and freezing drizzle around midnight. There was an extensive coating of rime on all surfaces except roads just after midnight and this has persisted all day. A brilliant end to the enjoyable cold snap.

Interestingly, despite such a cold day with persistent fog and frost, the wind at 50 m above ground (steam and smoke from Royal Surrey Hospital chimney) was S.W. at about 10~15 mph as early as 1 pm and some slight gusts were felt at ground level and this dislodged some of the rime from the trees. Winds remained mostly light all evening although there were some light to modrate gusts. However after 8:30 pm, higher up (est. 300~500 m) the change is already apparent with fast moving fragements of stratus and a definite change in the 'feel' of the cold at ground level.
