It's raining now, (only a shower - but a sharpish one) and there were
some rain showers a couple of nights ago. (5mm at Culdrose, 1.5mm
here).

No air frost here this Winter, no ground frost here that I've seen. In
fact, looking back through my records, I can't find an easterly/
anticyclonic spell this long without an air frost at some point. The
low temperatures (so far) have been home grown under still conditions
rather than imported. In fact the Baltic is still warmer than normal

hardly a normal blocked situation.

We've had some light rain here in West Wales which caused black ice and made
many roads treacherous. The main road west from Swansea to Carmarthen has
been closed. Current air temperature is -1.7°C.


I'm glad I stayed indoors, then.
