1st February 2003.

These seem to be the only 2 freezing days in Brussels in February in the
last 10 years, i.e. since the year 2000.

That's remarkable. I suspect that your total number of February ice days
will be at least three higher by the end of next week.

I was about to say 3 Feb 2010 but it rose above 0C about 2230.

Looking at the monthly graphs:
1 & 2nd 2009
23 & 24 2005
22 2004
3 2003
27 & 28 2001

There are many days where it just gets above 0C for a brief period.

Here in Wishaw we have to turn the clock back 14 years to the 6th Feb,
1996.
Even during February 1986 we only managed it once. Though February 1985
managed it three days on the trot. It really is a rare feat here, much
more
so than in December or January.
I'm not sure the coming week or two will change that?

None here in West Fareham since I started keeping daily records in Feb
2005 but at *Solent MRSC* 5 miles away on the coast (OGIMET, goes
back to Feb 87):

14/02/1994 -0.1
07/02/1991 -3.7
08/02/1991 -1.5
09/02/1991 -2.3

16 years since the last one!

Hi, Alex

3rd Feb last year Copley, before that 2006 before that 2003, then
2001, 1999, 1996 etc etc
I'm amazed at your February 1986 figure. From my record I estimate at
least 15 from my previous site 100 metres lower (6 there). Mean max
was 0.9C so I estimate -0.1C or lower here.
Some areas were below 0C for the whole of February 1986 locally. I
estimate the absolute max here was around 1C on the 28th

Best wishes,
Ken
Copley, Teesdale

My figures are almost very similar to yours, the exceptions being
none in 2003 but one in 1994 (the 14th). In 1986 there were no less
than 15, plus 1st March (max -2.2°C). The mean max for Feb 1986 was
+0.1°C. Just missed!

Only 3 in the last 31 years then Keith?
A grand total of twelve here in the last 40 years - which it seems many
people managed in 1986 alone.

Ice days in Wishaw (by month) since 1971:
November: 7
December: 52
January: 25
February 12
March 1 (4th March, 1986)

Total: 97

Yes, Alex. At my site in Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire there were 10 ice
days in Feb 1986. The max temp for the month was only 3.0. There wasn't a lot
of snow, though. The deepest that I recorded was 7 cm.
