Expected to wake to icy roads/footpaths today, after all the drizzle made everything soaked again yesterday, but thankfully not icy, but a solid frost which was still in the shady places as I went out for the 2nd dog walk at 11am. No fog, after the warning, but sunny blue skies, temp 6c currently.

Went to feed the ducks today and it's the first time since november I was able to sit outside doing it as the sun still has some warmth to it, much nicer then sitting in the car and having my thick coat over my legs 

also went through a footpath that me and my dad were curious to know what's up there and unfortunately not much besides a golf course

Curiosity runs us into all sorts of dilemmas but you wanted to know  was up there without too much mud on your boots   the way you say the  sun still has some warmth to it  is as if we are in beginning of October lol ,its all down hill to summer now ,shame the sledge wont be needed to get there or will it nothing is nailed on ..which makes it riveting

Absolutely lovely sunrise and rounded off nicely with some misty fields so far, detracts from losing my bus pass

It's a lovely day here in Stevenage. Sun is shining, temp at 9.7c, lovely blue skies.

[Blessed Weather]

Mustn't grumble at this weather. Beautiful sunny days and frosty nights. The satellite image showing the Region under clear skies. (The dark on the top right hand is because the sun has set in the north east of Russia. Nice snow on the Alps and Pyrenees showing too).

Jack Frost on my car windscreen this morning. I can remember enjoying those on the inside of the bedroom window when I was a kid.

[Captain Shortwave]

Surprisingly mild outside this afternoon with clear skies and temperatures hovering close to 10c, this despite an overnight frost. The forecast does suggest that temperatures will be colder tomorrow, though that will depend on the extent of any fog patches.

Surprisingly cold here today .

Frost this morning with fog, then a sunny, windless day to follow.

When I arrived home, I was surprised to see a decent amount of frost on the lawn, and the temperature at around 16:00 at 3.9 degrees.

Guess it depends on regionality quite a bit.

My kids think I grew up in the dark ages when I tell them stories about the ice on the inside of the window when I was young. They got a taste of it last winter when we had a gas leak and the boiler had to go off for a few days in December 2020!

Warmish for January here today too at 12.0c high. Felt quite nice on my lunch hour walk. Quickly cooled off as the sun went down and now we’re down to 1.6c. Looks like another frost again tonight

I was surprised too at the extremes today -

-1.7C the min this morning but 11.8C at just after 13.00. The weather station is in quite a sheltered spot though, that does warm up when the sun's out.

 

[Sparky68]

A beautiful orange Moon this morning , -1 and lovely clear skies. Hope somebody gets some photos of it.

[Blazerblue]

Another solid frost this morning, could get used to these, nice clean walkies each morning, although this morning on the return walk, pockets of fog started to appear which hadnt been there 30 minutes earlier.

My station is also fairly sheltered but as my garden is a a south facing sun trap it hit a high of 13.8C after a low of -0.7C, on the 12th it got even higher to 15.2c. 

Unfortunately my station needs to be located close to a fence due to the garden layout so it could have affected the high reading.

-2 again this morning.. if we can get a frost from now till it gets colder again early next week this could be the most frosts in a row here since that easterly in 2018 I think, when we had 9 days of frost albiet colder than now.

Frost staying in the shade too, even though we are now above freezing by quite a bit, in part, due to low soil temps as little or no sun this time of year in sheltered spots.

Sun is now well and truly on the gain though now. With each day adding 2 1/2 minutes of daylight . Seems like not a lot but over 30 days that's well over an hour of daylight.. by end March the days are nearly 2.5-3 hours longer than in December.

It's a shame really as we do not aline well in winter with best time of year for snow vs absoulte solar minimum. Usually February is our snowiest part of winter here. However, by late Feb we have gained well over an hour of sunlight from solar minimum on 21st December.

Many times in February despite low temperatures, if you don't have cloud cover it's drip drip of melting snow as the sun really gets to work.
