Hi, All,
Freezing rain here this morning. Screen temp -2C and ice on all
untreated surfaces - horrible. The incessant Pennine wind fell at last
overnight, consequently the coldest night of 2004 here, down to -6C
with -12.5C on the grass.
Probably around -10C down at t'Copley Mill, where there is little
trouble, btw!

Best wishes,

Same up here Ken, a skiff of snow overnight and freezing rain so far since
first light, -11 on the grass last night and -7 in the box, now is around -2
C and raining. All surfaces are glazed with ice, can't get to my rain gauges
at all.

Lots of very droopy plants around and the conifers look all sad. Managed to
get my office from -2 at 0900 to a workable 3 C now at 1015

Signs of a little freezing rain on the frozen ground, but I really have to
record "drizzle" - gone for a code 5 for the state of ground though ?

-8.6c on the grass here, which for me is very cold without any snow cover -
temps now up to +4c at 10am, may take a while for that frost to come out of
the ground. Youngest boys football called off this morning.

Light freezing rain/drizzle here for a time also. Roughly 5am to 11am. It
took hold of some surfaces better than others.
The birds at the bird table in the garden cerainly had a slippy time of it.
Didn't notice any sleetiness here this morning - still had no snow falling
this season here either.
Temperature jumped 5ºC in an hour either side of 3pm here, back into
miserable November.

Horrid in Livingston, West Lothian. Drove in from Edinburgh,
blissfully unaware of the danger, until I set foot on a verglassed
carpark.

Very cold orienteering, all the grass was iced up as were twigs and
fences. Paths unusable due to ice.

A couple of freezing rain related reports on the BBC including the temporary
closure of the M6 :-

Freezing rain observed also here in Ferryhill, Co. Durham between about
9 and 11am. Local car accidents and people sliding about unaware of the
danger. Was looking for it, so wasn't surprised when we got it!

Temp now rising smartly. 4.2°C at 1830.

We got above 0C about 0500, can't say I noticed any freezing rain but
then I didn't go out... Not quite so cold last night only down to -3
or -4C.
