The start of this morning's Moon/Mars Occulation was great to watch and I didn't even need to venture out into the cold to see it, occasionally throwing open the window to get a pic let me know just how cold it is outside with the frost shimmering away in the Moonlight.

-5.1 in Glossop.. some cloud around. Min so far was -5.7 an hour ago

[severe snowstorm]

Temperature going down steadily, -4.9C.

The odd bit of cloud floating around from the showers over Wales have scuppered any real cold, as its currently 0.6C as a low, especially when further east it looks baltic. Some impressive temperatures in places it seems. There are going to be some epic frosty scenes at sunrise in places.

Currently -4.5°c

-5.6C here. Off to bed now!

Occultation before and after

Temps not dipped below -5c which was about the same when I hit the sack last night, but still very hard & harsh frost.  Model wobble-day today.. they are bringing the low further north...might benefit us in terms of white stuff next week, but I still think it will be a southern affair.  We'll probably keep the frozen theme going.

This electric blanket is heaven in winter but it does make it harder to get up in the morning

A thin veil of cloud here prevented perfect views of the occultation, but I could just about make out Mars before it hit the edge of the moon. Nice to be able to view it from indoors!

[Weather-history]

Dropped to -7.5°C before the thin cloud came over

Now -6.5°C

-5 at 5.45am concurring with Man airport.  Noticed airport had a dip to -6c sometime after 4am.  A lovely crisp, stingy earlobe walk to work earlier, certainly wakes you up.  Cloud out west and now -4c.

Fantastic occultation photos, thanks for sharing.

-6°C currently

Given we reached 40°C this year, there is going to be a huge temperature range between the highest maximum and lowest minimum recorded in the UK during a calendar year.

Not just nationally, local stations as well, official and non official. In 1995, I think the range was 62.4°C, nationally

For instance I recorded 39.1°C in July and it dropped to -7.5°C during the early hours this morning. 46.6°C gap between the two

-6c low here last night a hard frost & bitterly cold currently -4c. Coldest night of the season so far  

[Slidergate '17]

-5. Festive feel to outside, proper winter morning. 

[jimben]

Currently -6.7c and still falling

[PennineMark]

I don't know where Google's weather.com automated notifications get the data but it seems quite keen on the possibility of some afternoon and evening showers here. Not much sign of similar anywhere else. So much frost out there this morning it looks like snow.

[severe snowstorm]

Temperature got down to -4.9C around 05:30, but then went up a little as some very thin and patchy cloud moved across. It wasn't enough to prevent a great view of the moon and Mars though. Temperature now going down slowly again as the cloud has cleared, currently -4.6C. 

[Chris.R]

Currently -4.5°C. Coldest night for at least two years.

-7 here in thick freezing fog. If that hangs around the temperature won’t rise much at all. Bit disappointed with the fog. It feels like it’s been foggy and murky here for weeks, I was looking forward to crisp sunshine. At least I won’t have to go far uphill for it.

What were the maximums this summer in the usual winter cold spots such as Altnaharra and Braemar? Both of those could be on for minus teens if they get/have got snow cover.
