still no sign of the cold - record 5 day run of 0 or below!

I had my first frost here last night, 0c brought a short lived ground frost.

Temps have risen again now though, it's currently 4c in my garden.

[Yorkshire Kris]

Well it went down to -2.5 but now up to -1! Happy days.

We've had snow on the ground since Friday morning.

The temperature has not been very cold, but obviously not mild enough to melt the snow.

Roads and pavements were lethal this morning with lots of patchy black ice everywhere.

[Conifers]

Promised, according to the forecast given over the last 3 days: 6°

Actual max temperature today: 3°

[Dave Brown]

went down to -2.2C here and has struggled up to 5C now. This is the min they are forecasting for overnight.

I understand why tempers are a fraying but I suggest we take a breather before this goes further.. dark winter days are depressing enough, we don't need members falling out with each other - forgive and forget, let's leave it at that because we're all good online buddies here!

Gosh I hate to see upset, well said Stephen . I'm not sticking my nose in, well I am a little , but we all know temperatures can vary greatly over short distances, so I believe when people look at their thermometers and record a temperature it is accurate for their own garden, never mind what official forecasts might say.

Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la la la la la

[Adam D]

The temperature has risen to 5C here today and the snow and ice from Friday is slowly melting away, hooray!

Its not a nice snowdrift its a nasty snowdrift its advancing at around 10 to 15m per year and swallowing this unique butia population.

All that glitters isn't gold, eh Nigel?

All that glitters isn't gold, eh Nigel?

yes, sometimes the force of nature is unstoppable , when I first found these butias 3 years ago there was at least another 12 or so mature trees, but they have been buried, and at that time there was tips of fronds showing above the sand further back, so I think the majority of the population has already been exterminated. This is the extinction of something unique by natures forces.

[Darlo Mark]

That's really sad!

Love those pics though and that blue sky!
