And it's stopped

Oh well its something, and shows the weak feature is quite far west. Hoping I may catch a light dusting out of this in the next couple of hours, could all break up this side of the Lake District. Some patchy cloud is building... fingers crossed.

Glorious day here, that sun is surprisingly potent for December. I would not be surprised if the uv index is as high as 2 today which would be quite unusual for approaching the shortest day of the year.

Currently a pleasant 4C  

 

Just took the dog for a walk, one side of the road firmly sub zero and still in frost.  Bitter.  The other side, gloriously warm and sunny.  As you say - you can really feel the strength on your clothes, so perhaps a strong sun day - unusual 2 weeks from the shortest day.

Is this system further west than predicted? It seems to be as Carlisle getting in on the action.. Seems like it isn’t decaying and separating as much as forecast either?

Another grand day albeit cold  some interesting potential or as they say something for the weekend sir

[RobR]

Crisp blue skies from start to finish. Sun is starting to go down here and I can already tell the skies will look fantastic at dusk. No melting in any shade today.

Buxtonweather has finally updated since being stuck at 09:30am for the past few hours  looks like it wasn't a 'Ice Day' for us here despite the lingering frost across shaded areas, +1.9'c some-time in the afternoon although it's back down to -0.1'c again now the sun is setting. Eyes out NE and hoping a shower or two can at least survive the trip across the Pennines to give a fleeting glimpse of snowfall during the evening.

0ºC here; just been to get the Christmas tree... It's a bit big

 

Gorgeous colours in the back garden, view from my home office window:

 

 

Looks like there's cloud coming over slowly too... Wonder what it'll bring!

[severe snowstorm]

A fabulous day today and if it's not snowing, this is easily second best in winter. Sunny, cold and very still out. The temperature struggled up to a maximum of 1.6C this afternoon, but now starting to fall again steadily, currently 0.4C. Could well be even colder tonight than last night if the cloud stays away.

Yeah, could be a real cold night, down to -0.7C here already and only just starting to get dark.

Aye same on the Wirral

 

Will be interesting how low we go tonight, almost -5*C last night, probably the coldest night for say 1-2 yrs.  Definitley this year.

 

Cloud cover might affect the temps tonight

-1.5ºC and dropping here... It's bitterly cold in the back garden; it's had no sunlight all day bar the corner where the greenhouse is.

 

That's frosted over already and there's quite a bit of cloud coming over too!

[severe snowstorm]

Dropping fast here. -1.3C. Just had to de-ice the car for a second time today.

Same here of out for a meal  -0.8 c bit of cloud about and falling 

[frosty ground]

Some very light echos have developed towards Huddersfield moving south west 

[SnowThunder]

Lovely wintery day, frost stayed throughout the day in the shade, checked the bird baths and was about 2cm thick ice, can see cloud starting to roll in now as well so maybe they'll bring some dusting

[frosty ground]

looks like those north of the 62 should see a flurry, it is increasing with intensity with every frame

From now on these little features could pop up just about anywhere.
