Nice pics, Lukey. And judging by the fact that the forecast cloud has not even reached here yet (and given a little extra moisture) you might have a whopper of a hoarfrost tomorrow.

Haha cheers buddy! Yes, was this afternoon around 4-5pm I already was at 0c and the freezing fog has started to fall from the sky around Ascot/Sunningdale! Going to look amazing tomorrow!!!

I though I could see the early signs of fog forming, seems a little warmer tonight for now here though.

Yeah, I thought it was supposed to be cloudy in the north of our region tonight. Rather confusing that it isn't. 

[Captain Shortwave]

Well today was sunny all day, just some very thin high cloud at times. It did feel less cold today despite the westerly breeze.

[March]

What a surprise, November was colder here than a below average March this year. And they tell me March is winter. 

[Kent Blizzard]

Another cold frosty start, that's three in a row and on par with the whole of last Autumn/Winter!

 

[Ben Lewis]

3rd morning in a row of thick frost and a freezing cold feel in Hertfordshire! 

With a couple of previous frost mornings in November - I've now had more cold nights then the whole of last winter

[MAF]

Morning all. No frost overnight in SE London, but there is a wind chill this morning making it feel lots colder. The lake in St James' Park was still frozen when i walked past this morning. Two mornings in a row now. Having worked in Whitehall for many years, i cant remember many times that the lake was frozen so early. Lets hope its a good sign of winter to come.

Morning peeps!

Another very harsh frost here out in the sticks! Our warm up begins (compared to this week) today and a change in our weather ever so slightly as the high pressure cell migrates and moves ever si slightly. 

What a great start to winter! 

[Blessed Weather]

According to the beeb forecasts I watched yesterday, there should have been cloud cover moving down from the NW to a line approx Thames Estuary across to Bristol Channel, which would prevent a frost. Well here it got down to -1C overnight and this morning everything white with another good frost. Now the sun is out and it's a clear blue sky.

There is some cloud moving south, but even that looks thin. Today might not be as gloomy as forecast.

[Dami]

No frost here today, although it stayed from yesterday on some paths and grass by the school. Cars didn't look that damp either. In fact it actually looks warmer out than it really is, clear and sunny.

It's Christmas!

[Ben Lewis]

Nice video on BBC online from John Hammond explaining the difference in our weather compared to this time last year. 

No Atlantic storms expected for some time according to John - This is amazing news for those who are prone to flooding. 

I actually don't care if December ends up being a quiet month and no real cold gets locked in. For me, the fact that no more storms are expected is the best news. Find them nothing but boring and ruins outdoor plans especially when you are active like me....

I think there's a good chance of many folk seeing another light frost tonight. Helen Willetts on the beeb saying the cloud cover will be very unreliable and in any lengthy clear spells there could be a frost form. Here's the graphic she put up for min temps out in the sticks by early tomorrow morning (towns a few degrees warmer):

Went out to Winchester prison today,  honestly couldn't belive my eyes on the drive from Surrey ,  the frost was so thick in places that it looked like snow!  It was amazing! !  I'm off to hook tomorrow so similar journey just not as far so will try get pics if I can.  Absolutely breath taking a long long time since I have last seen winter wonderland like that!

 

[alexisj9]

It seems to have clouded over here now, so no frost tonight probably.

[Mark wheeler]

Another frost has developed here . Four days of un thawed frost in the shade including some pavements. I don't remember a frost being forecast tonight but I take it with open arms .

[Mal_UK]

Frosty and a bit icy outside where the days ground frost melted this afternoon and has now frozen! 

[Captain Shortwave]

Well the cloud reached here by the evening, but overall another mostly sunny day, the temperatures are definitely on the up with just a bog standard ground frost which lifted quickly and it felt quite mild outside. 

[Kent Blizzard]

1st of December and some are already starting to lose the plot in MO and elsewhere lol

 

[NO LONGER POSTING]

I'm a little sad. .  Went to the pub for a few jars come out and there is a blanket of cloud =( my thick frost in the garden and 2 inch thick ice on the water butt is melting.  Yes winters in my part of the world the last few years have been so poor that this last week has been a real treat! 

[Kent Blizzard]

I acknowledge those that stick up a long range forecast and a FI chart but we all know anything past 10 days is pushing the limits especially in such a scenario where we can't really determine the actions of the PV, the models don't pick up on the signs too well with the weak shifting of the Polar Vortex.

It could go one way or the other, amazing some write off the whole month on Day 1 let alone the whole of Winter and compare it to last year already.

Those that stick up detailed LRFs and share professional knowledge shouldn't be slaughtered when things don't show what others want to read.
