Tideswell, Derbyshire - Wednesday 13th January 2021
---------------------------------------------------------------------

0630z CALM 3000 -FZRA 8St007 -00.1/-00.6 1018
RMK: Looks like there's been slight rain for some time
with the temp below zero. I haven't been able to get
out of the house yet this morning due to the underfoot
conditions. Everything is covered in a layer of smooth
glaze that has a film of liquid water on it. It just looks
wet but it's extremely slippery and could result in more
business for A & E Departments, as if they weren't
busy enough already. The temperature is creeping up
so the conditions may not last very much longer.

0900z CALM 4000 FZRA 8St004 +00.2/-00.3 1017
RMK: It's atrocious out there. Surfaces look wet but
untreated surfaces are actually covered in ice that's
got a film of liquid water on it. I haven't been able to
get up the path to the raingauge and the grass min
thermometer so those readings will follow later.
09-09z: Tx 4.3 (1340z) Tn -2.2 (0101z) RR 1.1
15-09z: -4.9 (1849z) 00-24z: Sun 4.7

1600z CALM 0400 RA FG 8St002 +02.6/+02.1 1017
RMK: Slight to moderate rain all day with occasional
brief bursts of heavy. Underfoot conditions started
to improve soon after 0900z and most of the ice had
gone by 1100z. There's been fog from time to time in the
afternoon. Max temp +2.7C and there's been no sunshine.
All told, a grim day.
