Frost Watch / November 6 And 7

[Isolated Frost]

Made it down to -0.2C now its -0.1C and good to talk to everyone and hope next time Isolated Frost Ill be talking about snow with you in our regional!

Oh definitely; -1c, fresh gusty ne'ly, hammering down torrential snow, blizzards and everything

see you soon mate

[swipe]

Was -2C by me. Car was covered and was really hard to scrape. A quick drive 3 miles down the lanes and no frost at all. I get canned from work at the end of the month so I'm hoping I can make it to then without another frost. Nothing worse that scaping the car windscreen at 6am on a Monday morning

[Isolated Frost]

Lovely crunch when walking on the grass. Fields coated in pristine white; -3.0c. Perfect.

Not sure what the temp is - but we have an air frost with white surfaces all around. I note Shap is below freezing - probably about -1 degrees now.

Suspect Shap, or Redesdale Camp will be the coldest spot, at sub -5 degrees.

Spot on Damian,

According to weather online, Redesdale -6c is the winner, closely followed by Shap -5c.

It's interesting how cold it did get in places as the Upper Air temperatures aren't that cold, are they? No doubt, other factors at play.

However, once the cold air digs in, whenever that be, I feel we could get some real low temperatures again this winter.

Cheers

-4.2º here a few moments ago. Now back up to -4.1º.

Do I win?

[mikeocarroll]

Min here was -5.1c at 5.35am. Cloud has arrived in the last couple of hours though, about 3/4 cloud cover now and temp rising rapidly, currently -0.5c.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Grumble.

[Isolated Frost]

Haha oon, seems like you've met your match, step up mikeocarroll!

[mikeocarroll]

Lol I was typing that before I saw OON's post, wasn't meant to be a "I'm colder than you" post.

Shame it's only cold here under high pressure, not so much when there's possible snow around.

[TonyH]

Min -5.4c

[Isolated Frost]

Min -5.4c

Lucky you. That should last until 11am/12pm ish. A ground frost I mean. I'd imagine some cold spots will be at 2/3c at noon. But temperatures should generally rise overnight with a warmer flow.

[Backtrack]

Currently 2.8C after a cold low of 1.3C. A hard frost everywhere - lovely.

[TonyH]

Correction -5.5c

Not quite as cold as in October last year.

A 'bonechilling' min of 5.2C here due to the cloud and wind from the north-east. That was just after midnight and by 9am it was already 10.8C.

We're now under typical North Sea murk which looks like staying for much of the week. So temperatures of 8-12C look to be the order of the day (or week).

[James M]

A lovely thick frost this morning, cloudy now though.

[BornFromTheVoid]

Minimum of just 5.6C in Cork. No frost yet, south coast and city centre so it's to be expected I suppose!

[weatherobsuk]

0.4'c it got to here this morning before the cloud bank rolled over. A strange sight to see 8/8 okta of clouds, and yet frost on the village roofs and just about covering the hillsides.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

Despite being a quarter Welsh, I do find some of them very annoying.

[TonyH]

The shade frost all melted by 1100 due to the cloud cover, it's still only a chilly 3c though.

[Aaron]

Down to 0.5c this morning, max today was 7.2c

[Liam J]

Clear skies with the temp down to 3.9c, max today 8.6c.

I can see the vale of cloud way to the south of me, I think perhaps the Lakeland mountains are sheltering the west coast, for the time being anyway.

[Snowstorm1]

Lol I cant post my max currently as its still increasing where are 6.8C at the moment.

[asjmcguire]

We reached -3.9'C overnight.

This means it's the 3rd coldest November since 2006 (when I started recording)

http://www.borderswe...k/wxrecords.php (updated every day at midnight)

28th Nov 2010 reached -4.1'C

30th Nov 2008 reached -6.9'C

We reached 7.6'C around dinnertime and then started falling fast - we dropped down to 0.9'C about 10 minutes ago and have started climbing again - we are at 1.2'C just now.

Aboyne already at 0C.

Haven't chaecked the stats for sunday night until now,and yes as I suspected Redesdales was the coldest spot. BBC also projected this. I think we got down to -3 degrees but doubt it was -4 degrees, we are usually one or two degrees milder than Shap under high pressure - but not always we can be colder under snow cover. It was a lovely morning yesterday - thick frost everywhere, unlike this morning which was a dullfest - signs that we may see a number of frosty nights next week on a par with sunday night - but maybe too much wind.. long way off, but good to see.
