Max. -0.8C in sunny skies. Now at 1700 it is more cloudy with temperature tumbling away at -3.1C. DP -5.1C. Bar 1040.7 hPa steady. Naff all wind from the ENE. All surfaces bone dry, frozen solid and snow-free. Going to be interesting on Friday close to the warm front wave. Snow or freezing rain, it just depends. Key difference from last weekend is that there is no driving low near Iceland...

Hi, All, Rain freezing on impact, most things coated in ice, unpleasant.

The MetO FAX chart this morning seems keen on developing an omega high out in the Atlantic and over Greenland and Iceland. Is this the set-up needed for a proper polar low to develop?

The local forecast was talking at length about freezing rain this evening, and how unusual it is, so I am assuming that it is to be of the genuine 'supercooled' varity, rather than just 'normal' rain making cold surfaces slippery. So what makes freezing rain fall at temperatures when one would normaly expect snow? -- Col

Here is a summary of the NWP output for noon on Monday. Issued 0447, 9/02/12 A change is on the way. High pressure will migrate westwards over the weekend, allowing much milder air to affect those parts of the UK which are currently very cold. All areas will be at risk of rain as fronts move SE'wards over the UK. The middle of the working week is likely to see a short-lived NNW'ly flow over...

Watching a pristine layer of snow, slowly melt away before the cold air returns. All very sad. Some of you in the SE have my commiserations :-) http://www.lyneside.demon.co.uk/Haytor/automatic/Current_Vantage_Pro.htm Will Hand (Haytor, Devon, 1017 feet asl) ---------------------------------------------

According to my AWS yesterday's 1042.4 mb was the highest I have recorded so at least three years. Does this tie up with others' as I have seen no mention of it elsewhere. Dave, S.Essex
