2.9c with a DP of 2c Overcast and misty with drizzle

It's also clouded over after our sunny start to the day which means that if only there was some snow around here, this would be a great time for an ice day to be recorded here. Even as it is, that could still end up happening although I'm not so sure that it actually will.

😁

Unlike elsewhere in the UK (as is being seen with Storm Goretti which is really just an England only event), it is usually always asking too much for Edinburgh to get anything in the way of actual weather which is even remotely interesting, so it should come as no surprise as a result that we haven't been able to get an ice day on this occasion).

Above 180m there was a smattering of snow from yesterday evenings showers and above 300m the Pentlands are white for the first time this cold spell. Stayed below freezing up above 100m today I would say

It was -4 C when I left home at 10:30 and 0.9 C when I got back a few minutes ago down into the suburbs. Ice is widespread, quite tricky walking at times

I see we are in a new Yellow warning area for wintry showers coming in from the east tonight......we shall see 🤔

If this was Facebook that would warrant a "care" reaction - but it isn't, so the best I can offer is that I hope you're unscathed by those strong winds... I detest them myself (thanks, 1987) and know the feeling of dread they engender. 

The wind's started to pick up from the ESE here, having been pretty much calm all day - an unusual direction and one which will make for a noisy evening (with various creaks and groans not usually heard!) There's steady rain outside and the MetO raw shows it raining non-stop until 7 PM tomorrow - I can imagine there'll be problems with flooding in some spots, as the ground remains frozen a few mm down. 

4.7, dew 4.0, the high so far being 4.8. Odd to think it'll be something like 9C in the middle of the night, only to have fallen back by the time everyone gets up!

Did Helston see any flakes of snow over weekend?

Heavy drizzly rain here in a lull and warmer airmass +10c

Temp has dropped from 4.1c to 2.8c in half an hour

DP : from 3.7c to 2.5c

It's currently 4.5c if my VP2 temp is working properly. I know the humidity sensor has broken, as has been reading 100% for a couple of weeks so no idea on DP, and obviously the temp sensor is part and parcel of the same board. I have a new one ready to fit but it's either been freezing or pouring so haven't got round to it recently.

Annoyingly my rain gauge is having a moment so has only recorded 4.3mm rain - I wiggled a pipe cleaner in it earlier as it had 0 mm but suspect it's still got crud in so will have to take apart tomorrow and clean it.
