Thick freezing fog all night and at present. Temperature according to the Davis on the house roof is -4.6c with a min' of -6.2c, very low for here, and I'll be interested to see what it was in the screen when I go out shortly.

Another cold and frosty start, and though not quite as cold as recent nights on the thermometer, the frost has been penetrating as there has been a continuing force 2-3 southerly wind.

A layer of thick cirrostratus blocked out the sun from around mid afternoon and the temperature quickly dropped back below freezing. Maximum wind gust 17.3mph SSE.

[sunny scunny]

It's still a winter wonderland here, and it's currently cloudy with a current temp of -2c.

[paul tall]

Currently -6.0º and this is under cloud! I'd love to know how cold it would have got under clear sky.

Minimum was -6.8º and this is the coldest temperature I have recorded since I started on 25th December 2003 (guess what I got for Christmas that year?)

[Stargazer]

Cloudy, 0.3 deg C, wind light N. About 8cm of snow on the ground. Definitely working from home today - I had to abandon the car just off the A33 last night and get the train home from Basingstoke (total journey time just over 6 hours).

Yesterday: dry, very cold start, rain turned to heavy snow in the afternoon. Maximum 0.6, minimum -4.4.

[conor123]

Severe Frost again to start the day today, gutted its going to rain tommorow with no snowy breakdown, overnight low of -6.7c, currently -0.7c and Sunny.

[paul tall]

It is nearing midday and it is insanely cold here. -5.0º and sunshine. 7cm frozen snow, copious amounts of frost on trees make the place look like the inside of a freezer.

[sunny scunny]

After a cloudy and misty start, it's become sunny in the last hour.The temp is still at -1c

and hardly any of the snow has melted in days.

[reef]

Not as cold here last night as other stations in the area as we had cloudcover until around 2am. There was however a light snow flurry which was a nice suprise. Afterwards it then turned very foggy which left a layer of rime on most surfaces. It is now gradually turning clear as the fog burns off and there is some hazy sunshine coming through. Still rather cold though with a temperature of -0.9C. The min last night was -2.8C which is actually the highest for 4 days!

[SP1986]

A sunny start today but with showers building, and hail, grapel and rain showers have been the result.

Currently: 3.6C after a maximum 4.5C

Minimum temperature -0.7C

[Methuselah]

Still -6C at Dalcross Airport! I am hopeful of something off the Firth tonight??? :winky:

[Terminal Moraine]

Positively alpine looking here. The fog has cleared to leave 2-3 oktas cirrus and stratus fractus with sunny intervals.

Temp' is -1.2c, 9.5cm snow cover and all trees etc thick with rime, which even the f3-4 SW wind isn't dislodging.

[paul tall]

Had beautiful sunny skies for a few hours now. There has been a whopping 2 degree rise in temperature in the last 30 minutes, bringing us up to a rather nervous -1.3º currently, and that ice day is now looking over its shoulder. Hopefully the temperature will top out around now.
