[khodds]

[MrNooo]

-5.3c here, lovely morning!

[jethro]

Morning all, it's a rather nippy -5.1c here  

I am glad of double glazing and central heating but there's a bit of me that really would like to pull back my curtains and see ferns on the panes, mornings like this would have guaranteed it when I was a kid. Miss those patterns.

Me too, those days where the ice was thick on the inside of the windows and would take sometime to clear, and you'd be able to breath clear circles on to the glass to look outside. Guess I'm lucky to have experienced those days of cold. My grandkids love it when the ground has a covering a frost, my how times have changed.

Sorry reminiscence switched off..

[khodds]

I remember those days! We used to live in an old farmhouse with no heating upstairs and single glazing and waking up with ice on the windows was standard in winter - the good old days! 

So... seems like the garden path has been abandoned this morning judging by the lack of posts and doom in the MOD thread

Yes, another MOD thread lead scenario, that appears to be be winding down. There is clearly some colder air around, but not (as determined by the thread explosive in nature, cite KAAABOOOM as posted a couple of times!).Consistency from knocker does run true..

That takes me back 

 

 

So the pendulum swings back to a frosty start. Rather chilly first thing, the temperature must have dropped rapidly overnight as it wasn't too bad at 10pm.

morning all.

from a  balmy 5.3c yesterday morning to a chilly -4.0c this morning

On reflection...I'd rather wake up and see my garden looking like this again.....will we ever get another February 2009?

Benson @ -7C..

-7.8 now. Bored of being cold! Sorry those of you who want some frost, but I have to walk a km on an untreated country lane over an awful bridge to get to work. Looking forward to not being afraid of falling a over t!

[Mapantz]

Very frosty this morning, a low of -3.4°C

Temp: -2.1°C - Hum: 97% - Dew: -2.5°C - Bar: 1034.91hPa - Wind: Calm.

[jtay]

Lovely out. Min of -3.7C this morning at around 8am.

Also, just put my deposit down for Storm Tour 1 - 2018. Yay!

 

[jethro]

Well I've got an enforced day off, my poor old Landy suggested I was 'havin a larf' when I tried to start it; every turn of the key resulted in lower and lower groaning before it stuck one finger up and told me to sod off. Shame really, it's a lovely day out there.

[matt111]

Got down to -2.4°C last night. Another sunny day now with clear skies. 3.5°C.

1877 ~ The editor of the Devon Weekly Times noted the New Year had begun dismally with extreme wet weather threatening disease and physically and polically we are shrouded with gloom.

Sounds like the MOD thread in 2017

Beautiful sunny day here now. Air temp hovering around freezimg but feeling quite pleasant unlike yesterday which, though warmer, had a bitter breeze. I even managed to negotiate the icy bridge( it's in shade all day so is always a nasty spot!). Wearing more layers than an arctic explorer though! 

[MP-R]

Wonderful frost last night and a minimum of -4.5C. Picture perfect day today with clear skies and a current temp of 1C. More days like this please.

[Nights King]

-5.3c this morning so very chilly but temperature is dragging itself back towards freezing slowly,

-0.3c

[Mapantz]

It looks like it may dip below freezing here tonight/just after midnight, before the cloud encroaches - that'll make 16 frost days so far.

Just after.. how warm is it there?

Temperature peaked at 0.3c now back down to -0.3c so should reach -3/4c before warm up i rekon.

I presume its falling slowly already so you should be down not long after 6pm?
