Winter Weather

[Tim Ingram]

The last real snow we had in winter was in January 2013, and that didn't last too long. Quite a turn up for the books here now and it looks set to get worse/(better?) over the next few days. Extremely beautiful though. The teasels are in the field next to our garden, and the second picture on a walk eastwards looking to Boughton Church and the hills beyond towards Canterbury.

Waiting for a snowman. Nice.

Minus 10C here this morning.

Ralph, that's a good result for Southern England I suppose.

Here now -11 C, I did not record night temp, but probably not below -15 C. It seems minimum temp for this winter has already been achieved here.

[Leena]

-20C the last couple of nights, and days around -15C. Not so bad when in the eastern Finland it was -28C.

A steady flow of snow showers is drifting in from the North Sea, so far there is not very much lying but according to the forecast the worst is yet to come.
Temperature in garden just now is -5C wind chill makes it feel like -12C.

............I'll be very surprised if we get any snow here apart from on Dartmoor we have only had one measureable quantity in the 30 odd years we have been here.

So I was wrong again, and so was the Met. Office. You might have thought that as they are based in Exeter not 30 miles up the road they might get it right some times. Quite a blizzard on at the moment, Wednesday trip out postponed.

We are having snow and cold too, here in Northern California.

27 F right now at the farm. I'll be on Peavine Ridge in a few hours. There will be plenty of snow there. I will report back.

We had a few flurries yesterday and this morning. The snow is about 3 1/2" deep. This is unusual for us. The minimum temperature in the greenhouse (unheated) last night was 18F.

Brrrr! (Apologies to Canadian friends who probably wonder what all the fuss is about).

[Jacek]

That's beauty, not brrrr.

Make a snowman - the only effective medication for brrrr.

We had 1/2 inch of snow last night.  Some of it has melted.  A few flurries today but nothing lying.  There is a red warning for the central belt from about 15:00 for blizzard conditions...I hope it doesn't reach this far west.  Temp. about -1°C.

12cm of snow at the moment. We are in the centre of the Red Weather warning so potentially much more to come.

Some just don't care.

Oh my! That is one very happy Ralph!
