Hi, All,

Could be among the highest UK max and lowest UK max today within 400
metres of our small village. What a contrast!

Copley Met O site Max 12.6C Min -6.6C, range 19.2C
Copley Lead Mill Max -0.1C Min -6.7C, range 6.6C

Sunshine 7.6hr today, monthly total now 108.3hr, normal for the whole
month is 63 hours.

I suspect the cold pool stagnating in the valley will be stirred very
soon!

Best wishes,

Just 2c most of the day here in the fog all day, winds have picked up now,
fog is thinning and temps slowly climbing up to 3.5c, up 1c in the last
hour.

Some contrast you have - I take it you have your supplies ready for the next
few days !

Paul

Ken, that is simply amazing. I think you should publish this somewhere, Weather
perhaps?
If you need a referee, you know how to get hold of me.

Best wishes and stay warm,

Will.

Hi, Paul,

I think it will be a tad too warm for much snow especially by the time
the wind swings around to NE'ly later in the weekend. The expected
NW'ly for Friday usually brings us cloudless skies. Above 2000ft should
see a sprinkling. It's been over-hyped imho, any that falls below
2000ft will be yukky, mucky wet stuff.

We seem to get get very little radiation fog here which I'm pleased
about.

Best wishes,

Ken

Hi, Will,

Thanks for the interest and the offer, I'm hoping to get a year's obs.
in and then start on something. The locals have been wanting this
hollow studying for some time, they call the screen the "frost box"
btw!

No sun shines there from mid November to February, but that alone would
not explain so large a difference. The night temperatures are nothing
spectacular, it just does not seem to recover after a cold night in
calm air during the winter. When the wind mixes things up again
everything returns to normal.

I really need automated equipment, earth thermometers etc but there is
the vandalism element. I have had damage already but that was
unintentionally done by youngsters playing football. There is also the
time element as Lord Barnard, who owns the land, could call things off
at any time.

I also think I need a visit from someone with more expertise than I
have. I'll start the ball rolling at the next R Met Soc meeting, but
I'm always open to suggestions and help from uksw.

It's looking better for your sledge than mine atm, Will!

Best wishes,

Ken
