Good evening,with the sky now full of St Cu here in SouthEast England,and a
wind coming from Holland with temps around -1C plus blowing over a sea
between 7-10C, how pray will we get 'a penetrating frost' tonight ?

Well it's -17C here ATM (Lincolnshire).

I'll just check again ........

Aaaah - my mistake - actually +3.2C. -17C later perhaps ?

I'm walking down to the village pub for a pint. It's a long walk (420
yards) so I suppose I'd better take food and water with me just in case :-(

With enough wind, even a temperature of -1 or -2 can give a penetrating
frost. And with only a short sea track, the air shouldn't warm up that
much in its journey from Holland.

shows that at 8pm many places in the SE were already within a degree of
freezing, with a moderate Easterly breeze.

Claim culture strikes again. The forecasters are frightened of their own
shadow. Almost as sensational as the blurb that the Daily Express prints.
Put on your local radio station tomorrow and listen to the lists of school
closures, WOW! an extension to the school Christmas holidays, what a
suprise, couldn't have arrived at a better time! Can't see our bosses
closing the factory tomorrow though, we will still have to battle through
the 1Cm of snow.
Perhaps schools should have to be turned into moneymaking businesses, that
would keep them open.
Never mind Daily Express. I bet your sensationalism boosts your weekly sales
no end!
Ashamed to be British.

Still above freezing here at 0.2c!

Though we do have another 24 hours of this much over hyped 1 day cold
snap to get down to -17c.

Don't now what happened to the much read battleground which was due to
take place this week, some battle seems the Atlantic has blown away this
high without even getting into second gear.

Usual January then, mild & wet!

We're just on 0C with a little wind (no anemometer, was more wind a
couple of hours ago).

Cat has decided to stay indoors tonight.
