Rain has just passed over, now temp reading 0c, all still to play for, watch out for ice out there. Fingers crossed it stays cold for any more precipitation. Good luck everyone hope you all get snow!

[Dorset Weather]

wow just hit -6.1c, its really dropping fast, coldest of this cold spell so far, I agree snow cover really seems to be helping and hopefully aid temps for tomorrow.

[karlos1983]

The latest GFS doesn't look like it wants to let the block to go away quite as quick, I think I'm reading it correctly, but this looks a good chart to me?

[kumquat]

Agree about ppn looking progressive. Building nicely over Cornwall and travelling quite quickly north-eastwards. Also, a new "clump" appearing ahead of the pack reaching into Exeter.

[Blizzardof82]

It's a balmy 1.1c here at present, time to turn the heating off

Shot up to 1.8C now, never known a night where the temps change so much, it's no good for my blood pressure I tell you!!

[Dean E]

Its amazing how many temperature variations there are tonight!

Just about to hit -5c here under clear skies DP -8c!!!!! Snow cover and clear skies, you'll always get a very low temperature

[124alex]

[Uncle_Barty]

Temp here 2.7c (highest of the day) in a light SE'ly that's picked up. Another site in Southbourne showing 4c. Little bit of microclimate here!

Temps at airport -3 and at my other site in West Moors -3.7. Other local sites only a little further inland are below zero, including Wareham.

Temp here -1.9c dp of -3c

Not holding out much hope for some snow but never say die!!!

In other news. The job interview that went disastrously this morning can't have been that bad! I got the bloody job. Woohoo. I'm still a bit shocked I got it, as it really was not a good interview. I waffled rubbish.

That's interesting as I have more urban heat where I am compared to you!

[Moleyroley]

3.7 here and rising , yuk!

[snowphie]

Heavy sleet here in Delabole :-) Appears to be settling on the tops of the cars....I assume this would be because it's so cold? :-)

It just shows what difference cloud cover can make. Skies have just cleared over here and immediately temperatures have dropped half a degree in 15 minutes. Could do with it to stay clear until dawn and then cloud over to keep the sun out and lock the cold in.

Is it clear there or cloudy? thats what i was thinking.

[Mumbles]

What's my chances here in Sherborne to see any of the white stuff tonight or tomorrow please?

[dancing daisy]

There seems to be a lot of ppn building on the radar or am I seeing things?

[Wilxy]

Yes just had a look out clear skies incoming, expecting a big drop in next 30mins.
