At one private weather station in the Spey Valley the maximum was -12.8C, and it's already -18C there. The differences across short distances can be enormous in this setup.

Here in Edinburgh, today's maximum temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank was -1.7°C and after doing some research, I have discovered that this makes today the coldest December day there since 22 December 2010 when the temperature didn't rise above -3.5°C there all day.

In addition to that, today has actually also been the first time since back on that same day, that an official ice day has even been recorded at Edinburgh Gogarbank during December and this just goes to show how rare such an event is, especially in this modern era where climate change and a warming planet have been such major issues overall.

Terrible reporting. “It's provisionally been the coldest day in the UK since December 2010 - the temperature recorded in Braemar, Aberdeenshire dropped to minus 9.3 Celsius (15F)” That makes it sound like -9.3C was the minimum.

-8dc outside Glasgow already (was -4dc this time last night)  :0

Max of just -1.7C today which was the lowest since 22/12/10 ☃
Incredible when prior to today, minima hadn't even got that low. -6.4C last night was lowest since only February last year. Should be colder tonight with -6.2C currently but little movement in the past few hours.

Surely there was an ice day in 2018 during the Beast from the East?

-7.4C That's very cold for Cambridge the snow cover helping. If it can stay clear till morning is outside chance of -10 🥶 🧊 ☃️ 

currently -10.2C in Milfield, North Northumberland

Some -11s showing up in the countryside of South Cambridgeshire. -8.2C imby

Nothing exceptional temperature-wise here. Max yesterday was -1C, which is only the coldest day since January 2019, when we had a max of -2.6C on the 31st (caused by thick freezing fog all day). The low yesterday morning was an unimpressive -3C, so not even the coldest night of the year. 

Really quite a disappointing spell locally. No snow and no noteworthy temperatures. Actually looking forward to some milder weather now.

I recall Braemar or Aviemore recording -23C a couple of winters ago, but very cold temperatures there doesn’t make a cold spell exceptional - not like December 2010 when you had temperatures approaching -20C in southern England. You need these sorts of very cold temperatures nationwide before you can start calling a cold spell exceptional, not localised to some Scottish glens.    

On another note, I’m very surprised that Aberdeen had their first ice day since December 2010. We have had multiple ice days here since then, even in March (we had ice days in the March’s of 2013 and 2018).

It’s not really that surprising given the inland location of Leeds compared with Aberdeen’s location right on the North Sea.  As reported on the BBC it is expected to be the coldest December in Scotland for a decade and, with the exception of last February, it was the coldest night in the U.K. since 2012. 

Not exceptional I guess but certainly noteworthy, especially combined with London’s snowfall (and whatever else the spell may yet bring!)

Currently -7°C in my garden and -10°C at the airport.

Andrewsfield in Essex down to -10c . It must be in a valley as Stansted AP isnt far away only got down to -5c.
 

---

That Highland Weather site is no longer loading for me. 

Low of -5C here, nothing special but looks very wintry with still a fair bit of snow cover and frost on the areas that had melted. 

Redesdale currently -12.1C. 

---

I've recorded -10 C this morning after yesterday's minimum of -9 C and yesterday's maximum of -3 C. Quite something!
I should add again that Blackford is in a frost hollow and doesn't receive sunshine in December and we still have snow on the ground

---

Braemar got down to -17.3c

Redesdale currently -12.1C. 

The official overnight minimum currently stands at -17.3°C at Braemar. The lowest (unofficial) station I can find was Shillochan with a minimum of -20.0°C.

Just hit -8.1C here in Suffolk (without any Snow).

---

-4c here in Stortford.  Still thick snow on the ground. Currently looking like a Swiss Alpine scene with huge snowmen everywhere and snow piles where people have cleared their drives. We've been very lucky here. Hopefully those not so lucky so far will get the white gold soon enough. 🤞🤞🤞

Minus 8 according to the car in Carlisle this morning.
