Forgot to post last night that we had a sleet shower about 6pm. Today it's beautiful cold and sunny. Problem is though i got a stinking cold today which is curtailing one's enjoyment of it.

[Mapantz]

The temperature is dropping off far quicker tonight, hopefully I can get a proper subzero reading!

2.5°C currently.

I'm feeling a teeny weeny bit christmassy, with the chilly conditions and seeing lot's of lights up! I cannot believe I've just written that? O_O

[Dorsetbred]

Beating you tonight MP, we are down to 1.3C here.

Ice in the back garden has remained there all day, so certainly a fantastic sunny, dry say yet a chill one as the ice didn't defrost.

More of these please we luv 'em.

-2.7c back home this morn, not quite the coldest this month/year which was -2.9c last Saturday.

 

A max of 7.1c and already below freezing there so I wonder if it could go lower before it rises towards dawn due to increasing cloud/wind

 

Up here in Egham a lovely sunny pure blue sky day after a slight frost.

-2.2 here now . Reached 5c at about 2pm not much thaw after last nights frost. Im glad our boiler was fixed yesterday after 3 days without heating.

Picked up some litter the kids had dropped yesterday off the lawn and that was still frozen at 4pm from last night

Frost was on the ground all day in the garden so better than the whole of last 'winter'. Had a very nice walk in the sunshine up Cleeve hill this afternoon again plenty of frost and ice remained in the shade.

[MP-R]

Beautiful day, clear skies and a maximum of 5C. All frosted up again outside, shame it's all going to melt later in the night!

[Evening thunder]

First -3c of the year back home, -3.5c now. Will melt by dawn though..

[Mapantz]

Woohoo! -2.4C. Coldest since January (-2.9C) seen some lovely meteors tonight/Last night. Now I'm on the port.

[knocker]

Cloudy with Ac,Sc and Cu. Temp 8C and wind WSW 11mph

[lettice]

Frosty morning here and it showed down to -0.3c at 4am, now 7.3c

[Dorsetbred]

Rain here, what's that all about? 0.5mm that showed a change in wind direction and a very quick rise in temperature.

-2.7°C this morning. It shot up extremely fast though..

Currently 10.2°C with showers.

It looks like a mild week from Tuesday eve >

[Andy Bown]

Surprisingly fine day today, was expecting a fair amount of showers but only a brief light shower mid afternoon otherwise dry and quite bright as well as milder. I am laying quite an ironic bet on it raining from around 07.00 tomorrow seeing as I have 2 more days of outdoor work that need doing this side of Christmas!

[Rich_Clements]

Frost has gone this morning, it was looking to be quite a potent one by about 10pm last night, only saw one patch of ice in the lanes near Slimbridge and the temp was aroind 6 or 7 all day but felt colder in the stiff breeze.

[ARTDEMOLE]

Cloudy . 7.1c.

[Dorsetbred]

Rain this morning falling on a cold surface was the cause of 10cars losing their grip on sheet ice, forcing closure of the road.

Mornin' all. 5.5°C aroundan about right now, after some overnight rainfall.

Still cloudy with light patchy drizzle.

[festivalking]

Dartmoor mist and murk this morning 6c as I left the house. Great day to be in by the fire but alas another day at work beckons....

[Andy Bown]

A rather pleasant and benign day which started quite clear and chilly and has been mostly cloudy/dry with few light showers and some hazy sunshine.

 

Having been out to dead head plants I have found out that there are a lot of 'Spring' bulbs shooting!

[ARTDEMOLE]

7.2c. Fine drizzle with a little sleet.

[Mapantz]

3.3C and rather foggy tonight. I wasn't expecting it to be this bad but it is still damp from early showers.

[Dorsetbred]

No frost this morning, but thick fog, now there's a change!

3C and thick fog, nice....

Frosty start today with a minimum of -0.3C. Now 3C with sunny intervals. It's going to feel positively tropical tomorrow and Thursday, very unusual for December!
