-6C at Glasgow Airport, another pretty severe frost outside. Ground very white where there is no snow cover. Pretty borderline for 50% snow cover now; although there are still huge patches of snow around.

[frostyjoe]

temp is -6c so its not really as cold.... as the days get longer ive already seen the temps being warmer both day and night in just 2 weeks.....

[SteveB]

[Northernlights]

Currently -4c and remaining snow patches sparkling with a max of 6c yesterday. Nice and sunny today, phone red hot yesterday with people looking for hay and straw, feed in short supply and spring can"t come soon enough up here.

[johnholmes]

Its a cloudy dry start with no frost-min was 2.6C with a very light N'ly drift

[andymusic]

it is no looking like remperstures may rise slightly as we go through march which is not such a surprise I guess although I still think e could get a few surprises until the end of April as temperatures are not set to rise that high yet. I am not convinced a temperature rise will be so welcomed by most. I love the weather at the moment, cold and frosty at night and sunny by day and everywhere slowly drying out. Great out in the garden at the moment.

Shame the "drying out" is bringing it's own problems now in Wales with loads of grass fires! - we had one here yesterday close to our home

Clear intervals with a slight frost last night.

Sunny spells and pleasant today. Moderate NE breeze.

Clear and frosty yet again this evening (a remarkable March for frosts so far).

Drove up to 350 masl near Aberystwyth this afternoon, where there was still roadside ice, and with ice on shaded rock faces, also snow patches on higher ground not far away. Meanwhile it felt positively mild in town!
