-5 C max today and now at 17:00 it is -10. Cloudless sky sunset with a
burnt orange glow and blue white snow. it was rather eerie. I have
chopped the logs and set the fire. All the wee ones have hot water
bottles on their laps for tea time. I always feel sorry for the
Shetland but i guess he shruggs it all off?

I am sure that the newsgroup will have a few spelling mistakes this
evening as many fingers will be crossed regarding recording low
temperatures. I have already seen myself unlocking the screen to read
-30 C tomorrow, i can see it now...

I can see another night of Freezing fog frustration for me Brian. It
lingered here for most of the day, subduing the maximum to a mere -6.0ºC. It
cleared off around 3pm, but I think it'll be back soon. If it's not, it's
set to tumble below -15ºC here and possibly knock on the door of -20ºC.
-30.0ºC.... You've been sampling the local water haven't you?
Glorious sunset here too, the southwestern horizon still has a stunning
green and azure glow 95 minutes after sunset... nautical twilight it's
called I believe.

I saw a nice sunset on a webcam in the UK.

Here on the coast I just missed out on an 'ice day' with the
temperature just creeping up to +0.5C. Have just been looking out on
to the golf course where quite a few foxes were active before sunset
(haven't seen any golfers for a couple of weeks now!) and I spotted
one cheeky chappie (fox not golfer) strolling across my front lawn
last night. Judging by the footprints in the snow it has become a
regular route.

And spectacular here at the other end of the country, too.

Blood red as it went down, with not a trace of warmth about it. A
truly cold, pitiless mid-winter sunset .........

I reckon you'll struggle to get a record tonight. There's some
slightly warmer and cloudier air making its way round the high towards
you. Altnaharra is 13 degrees warmer than this time yesterday. I'm
not suggesting you will see a similar rise, but you may well find that
cloud will interfere with your overnight cooling.
