Thick freezing fog all day, max 0.2C now back down below zero. Little
snow melt. 12cm Met O site, 16cm Lead Mill.
Good chance of full cover all month at the Lead Mill (and since 24th
November.)

Hi Ken.
Thick fog all day, but a max here of 1.0, so ice has eased.
No idea how much rain fell last night, as the gauge froze, but there
was some wet snow at times.
100% cover here,but some thaw and as at the Lead Mill, cover since
24th November. Can't see it surviving until 31st, which would be a
shame, as have never recorded a calendar month with snow cover - and
not likely to!
When was the last December with snow cover throughout????

Hi, David,
Can't answer the December question, but it must be rare. If Lead Mill
does get 31 days this month it would mean full cover January, February
and December all in 2010!! This morning was the 98th day 50% cover at
the Lead Mill and the 140th screen frost of 2010. Impressive figures
in these warmer times.
Best wishes,
Ken
