The air temperature has now dropped to -10ºC in Wishaw. Only the
second time I've ever recorded such a value in November. Given skies
remain clear throughout the night, goodness knows what the minimum
will be.

We are forecast a snowfest tomorrow into Monday, and the 15cm's warned
of by the met seems to be on the lean side given the "perfect" set up
that is now evolving. Shades of January 1987 indeed.
Minimums nearer -20ºC may be the case later in the week, and with
heavy snow and blizzards galore there must be a danger of the UK
sinking by next weekend due to weight of snow!

I thought last winter was good!

-10.3ºC

Awesome Alex, it's a coolish 71 F here in NE Florida today after a
cold front pushed through.

Reminds me of a day at RAE Bedford many years ago when it snowed in the
morning, then skies cleared at 10Z. The temperature dropped from a little
below zero to -2C. Ground fog began to form. By early afternoon, we'd
dropped to -4C. We then received our F/C min from Group: -3C! By 18Z we were
at -10C in fog. That was the minimum for the night.

We don't mind you Scots having all the snow and media coverage Alex. Us
southern softies wouldn't be able to cope anyway ;-)

Oh, I think we're all in for it this coming week Dave. No exceptions.
Remember January 1987?
About 65cm of snow here back then. And I recall the south got hit hard
too.

Is that a polar low I see before me in the North sea, heading this
way? I do believe it is!

Sounds rip-roaring Alex - keep us informed, if your internet doesn't
get snowed under...!
