The temperatures going down managed to beat the 0.1C every 21 seconds of yesterday's rise!

9:44 10.9

9:49 9.5

9:50 7.7

9:55 6.6

That works out as 0.1C every 3 and a half seconds! In reality I suspect it was pretty much instant, but the station only logs every minute.

Very similar here. 10.4C at 7am. 2.3C by 9.30am. Currently 2.5C with a bit of graupel and sleet in with the rain. 

Was a really sharp drop here too. 5C in 15 minutes at its steepest!

Unfortunately, it coincided with a power cut here (coincidence?) and so I had to get the figures from a nearby station.

Infuriating. "Good fences make good neighbours", as they say!

OT but I notice your postimage link is working. Whenever I've used that recently, I just end up with an "image unavailable" message.

Hmm, I make sure I use the "direct link" option, the others won't work. It's worth double-checking that you've got that selected, I'd say! 🙂

I reckon that's probably right if you take snow melt into account. I've had over 30mm on the same longitude more or less as you and I reckoned I missed some due to the wind. 40mm since the 1st Jan which is a lot for here.

Not quite as wretched as here because the sun shines from time to time. A recent sharp shower merely lowered the temp a bit.

I notice the sun is a little higher in the sky than before Christmas. Small blessings and all that. A few weeks before the back garden gets its benefit.

There is still a keen wind though. 

Temp has fallen from a high of 2.0c to 1.3c, ground temp must be close to freezing now,  thaw is slowing. 

Rain gauge is going up all the time  55mm from the event in total and lots of unmelted snow still to capture.  Imagine if it had been snow. 

It’s just to your west… look at the radar..most of it was rainy sleet when I went from Plymouth to west Cornwall about an hour ago.

Most of us in the south and west always imagine if it was snow..🤣

Looks like Postimage also deletes images after a short while - pah. I'll just dump them on my upstairs PC instead! Here's the photo of the fence... I've since propped the left panel up using breezeblocks, bricks, and a large rusty pole. You can see the nice manky panel I'd propped up to block the gap on the right, as well as the neighbour's original panel (which, oddly, they've just left for the past few weeks rather than binning).

The wind has calmed a fair bit, so hopefully the bodge will hold for a while (I suspect I'll end up having to pay for new panels myself, though; since the fence was first damaged 2 years ago the neighbour has bought a trampoline, 2 dachshund puppies, an outdoor barbecue....)

It's now 4.7, dew 2.6, so I'm not expecting a frost tonight. Tomorrow onwards, though, should be a different story!

Is it settling? I heard on radio heavy snow on telegraph hill/Haldon Hill 380/a30 at 1800. Bone dry in Exeter city centre at 5c yet this is only a few miles eastwards.

Extremely icy outside , worse where people have cleared drives as water has seeped under the snow and frozen.
