max today of 2.1c and currently -2.8c. most of the weather forcasts for today had predicted highs of between 4c and 6c so they were far enough out. its deffo colder than they predicted. lets just hope the cold pool can stay in place long enough to give us some snow for a while at least on wed or thurs.

[ronan]

So Katesbridge was the coldest place in the UK last night at -4.6 and could be colder again tonight. Frost never lifted all day today. As said above, i am hoping for a wee bit of wintry stuff on wed/thurs. Probably won't happen but you never know.

Not that cold down here at all today, currently 6.7c, lowest of 2.9c this morning.

[stormforce 10]

-3.0c here at the moment. very white and frosty.

[BIG LAD]

low of -4.8c here last night. coldest night of the year by far.

[stormforce 10]

overnight low of -4.2c. current temp -0.1c with plenty of frost and ice around.

Frost lasted all day here in shaded spots, that is some going considering I'm around 400metres from the Sea. Would put today's maximum temperature at around 3c.

A bitter cold day here - never stopped freezing as we had a lot of fog.

Hopefully we will get some white stuff for christmas

Bitter cold today and very frosty and lifted in a lot of places but on Rathlin Island (yes, I made it back), there was not a drop of frost there but they say they often avoid it. Understandable I suppose.

Still no oil and therefore no heating. What a time for this to happen.

Hoping for some snow but i'd be happy to hold on if we get a drop of proper stuff before the big day!

Just watched a programme on Ch4! Is Our Weather Getting Worse. Very interesting programme! 4 plus 1 now if any of you are interested.

[BIG LAD]

almost an ice day here. max of 0.1c for about half an hour. temp fell to -2c earlier but been on the rise ever since. currently -0.2c. quite a potent wee cold spell and wouldnt be surprised if we got something wintry tomorrow evening as the front moves northeast.

[stormforce 10]

overcast,cold and spitting rain. quite misersable really.

[skywatcher]

Just started raining here - not a snowflake in sight.

[BIG LAD]

yup temps up to 4.1c now and raining. boo

[Baltic Regions]

Pants!

So my gut feeling was wrong this year!! What a load if crap! Lol! Maybe we will get a taste of winter in the new year!

ATM it looks like we can forget about getting a cold spell for the rest of this month ,didnt think id be saying that a week ago.

I was really hoping for a cold xmas this year,doesnt look likely at present.

[ronan]

Sundog it was bad enough being let down at the end of November but getting kicked in the teeth for a second time wasn't good! Who would have thought a couple of weeks ago that we would be heading for a zonal Xmas. I certainly won't be getting my hopes up for anything cold in the New Year either. I think part of the problem that this was such a big let down was spending so much time in the model thread! It can be a complete disaster in there at times so i'm staying away until the new year! Lol.

[stormforce 10]

cool, hazy sunshine and very boring.

[Rocheydub]

Cold, cloudy but bright... Stiff breeze...

[ForeverPomeroysnow]

I wouldn't be so quick to give up yet lads, things can and will change for the better soon

[skywatcher]

There's a hint in the Models thread that wet and windy may yet change to cold in the reasonably near future.

[The watcher]

I'm looking for the safer route to cold, especially for us. That is an Atlantic/Greenland block. Looks like some ridges from the Azores are now showing in the models, this will help slow down the Atlantic train a bit, it may look mild and unsettled, but things can change very quickly.

[stormforce 10]

cool, wet type of weather. was raining very heavily earlier, but sun is comingout now. at least its not mild.

[Rocheydub]

Rain just stopped here, still windy mind you, and very overcast.
