After a low of -2.5 temp risen to -1c a guess what? we have rain ruining our sharp frost?? how odd it's sub-zero and we have rain?? When snow was forecast? So does this got for snow when temperatures rise to 2c? :o

-9.8c Overnight low

1.3c 24 hr. high

994 Mb. steady

Wind light WSW

Misty

Level snow depth 4 cm

clear blue skies

1c, everything covered in crisp frost

no real wind of any kind and very still

DP at -2

993mb rising

This is absurd -Temperature now risen to +4c in less than 1 hour -1c with really harsh sharp frost at 09:00. A rise in 5c in temps so  no wonder we had rain at -1c. 

Also not much in the way of snow over Ireland ATM either? :o

This has resulted in a total of 6 minutes of sunshine being recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 9am. However, thick freezing fog has now closed in which has reduced visibility to probably around 50 yards.This could make the rest of today very interesting if this fog hangs around for any length of time because if it does, that is likely to prevent the temperature from going up too much during today which could in the end, result in today being our first official ice day of this winter.

Last night's overnight minimum temperature was -6.7°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, -8°C at Edinburgh Airport and -5.8°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh. This makes last night, the coldest night of this winter so far at all three of my local stations.

In the meantime, the temperature at 9am this morning was -6.4°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, -6°C at Edinburgh Airport and -5.3°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

I looks like you have had a massive 5c jump in temperature too? Looks like you and many parts of the SW are in the milder sector and need to wait until this front pulls through later on this afternoon for you and this evening for us here in the SW (Devon) to see rain turn back to snow as it moves eastwards and hits the colder air and moves southwards tonight and brings in NE or E winds,.

Lovely rime this morning on the way to work.

Mostly clear & very bright 1.8c, lowest temperature was at 07:25 of -3.2c, Light wind SE,  RH 80%, DP -1.3c, Pressure 995.4mb falling slowly.

A more tropical 4.2 c at this coastal edge of Kent now that winds has picked up to as moderate SE. Still bright with hazy fuzzy sun at the moment and all the frost are gone but tonight looks a bit bleak.

Did manage a min of -3.3 c at 8 am, though.

5.5c and windy with ominous looking dark fast moving clouds. Pressure 991mb - Looks like it is at it's mildest because maxes today here in the SW were only meant to be +4C in Plymouth and 6C in Penzance and Exeter is usually a degree or two colder! - just awaiting the rain to come so that it can turn back to snow via evaporative cooling and soon. Either way this precipitation band looks 3x more long lived and intense and it's in much colder air in comparison to Tuesday/Tuesday nights weather front.

Could today break the January record and actually see the first significant January snowfall in the SW since January 2013!? - That was the last time significant snow fell here in Exeter. albeit wet. Since January 2013 - there has been any lying snowfall at all in lowland area#s of the south and west. 

Time will tell.

-It's heading our way soon - say within the next few hours and notice the dark red's denoting heavier precipitation??

It didn`t feel too cold here during the night,think some cloud cover stopped the temp dropping too low. It was only towards dawn that the cloud cleared, resulting in an overnight low of -2.1C

Current conditions are thin high cloud, hazy sun and 1.5C

Started this morning with freezing fog, but it has now cleared, patchy cloud earlier but now all low cloud cover; calm; no precipitation that I saw other than a little snizzle a short while ago.

-0.8*C (DP -1.7*C) after a minimum of -6.5*C at 7.30am.

94%RH; 989.7mb falling slowly.

The freezing fog has left a light rime on tree branches and the rooves of houses, which has not melted yet, providing a wintry scene.  If the low pressure brings slightly milder air up from the south ahead of it, we may well not have an ice day, but it is certainly unusual for the temp. to be still below freezing at mid-day.

An interesting 24 hours of weather-watching ahead.

The result of this is that a total of 2.9 hours of sunshine has still been recorded for today at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 12 noon.

That has allowed the temperature to go up by a fair amount, but it remains very cold with a possible official ice day still very much on the cards for here.

With that in mind, the temperature at 12 noon was -1.4°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank, -2°C at Edinburgh Airport and -2.1°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.

Should be an ice day here too.
Dropped to -2.0c after a high of -1.3c. Freezing fog persists - rare to get freezing fog here usually it's just in the valleys.

Cloudy. Dry. 3.3c. Humidity 78% Rh.

0986 hPa. Easterly Breeze 4 - 14 mph.

Hi, Ian! Hazy sunshine here, light easterly winds, 0.4 C @ 95% RH and pressure has fallen to 990 mb. Still patchy snow cover on the shaded lawns. Overnight low was -5.7 C and the first time for a few years where I've had to have the heater on in the garage to stop it freezing up!

Good luck for tonight's snow event! Will totally miss it here but we've had our turn up in the NW, lol!

Missus having no probs travelling back atm as thankfully that front is dragging it's heels, lol! 

The temperature has indeed risen, and is now 3.2*C.  DPs rose also, but after a maximum at 12.45pm are now dropping back down (currently 0.6*C).  This seems to correlate with the wind turning easterly and picking up.

With snow reported in parts of Cornwall and south Devon - it's heavy rain in Exeter and temp dropped to 4c a drop of 1.3c in the past 10 mins!??  reporting sleet now and soon i'll be in snow thread! 

Well, this is just so frustrating!!

The fog has now cleared from here and that has left us with a completely sunny afternoon with a total of 4.9 hours of sunshine having now been recorded for today so far at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 2pm this afternoon.

With the fog having cleared though, this has now completely scuppered our chances of an ice day at Edinburgh Gogarbank and the botanic gardens in Edinburgh (as the temperatures have shot up in response to that), although we are just by the skin of our teeth, clinging on to a possible ice day at Edinburgh Airport as at 2pm this afternoon.

Although we do still have a little bit of snow left over here from yesterday morning, this shows that you really need a more substantial snow cover than that, for us to have any chance of an ice day here.

Meanwhile, the temperature at 2pm this afternoon was 0.9°C at Edinburgh Gogsrbank, -1°C at Edinburgh Airport and 1.0°C at the botanic gardens in Edinburgh.
