The wind has been ESE most of the night so, despite clear skies, the minimum was +0.8. (At Newquay, with the wind offshore, it dropped to -4C) This contrasts with the cold of last week, when the the wind was ENE down the spine of Cornwall, resulting in a record February low of -4.8C 08:45 +2.8C & sunny, lovely sunrise.

Peaked at +1.1°C @11:45 with hazy blue skies. Now a very clear blue sky and dropped back to -0.2°C in full sunshine. Dew Point -8.1°C Wind ENE 7mph Had to find my grass minimum device under 4 inches of snow still on the grass with a crust both at the top and bottom. *Could* be my coldest night tonight, although being near the coast it may hold it up somewhat compared to more inland locations....

Clear night last night saw temperatures drop to -3.2c, bright start today but soon turning cloudy, at least there was no fog. Almost an ice day as temperatures really struggled under the cloud to reach 0.1c but falling away again now. No thaw today at my station so 2 to 3cms of hard frozen snow around 80% cover. Still fairly cloudy and getting breezy with humidity dropping. Current temp ...

bbc forecasts adamant -15c to be hit somwhere..

yes the snowman the kids built was thawing rapidly, but just before the head was about to be fall off, a superb sharp clearance, humidity gone, temps dropping like a stone.. SAVED!

This is the way I see it with no reference to models etc. Extremely cold boundary layer air is flooding into the SE now with dewpoints falling to -15C in places later. Very dry air and clearing away the fog and cloud, lowering the wet-bulb and will preserve remaining snow cover. One or two snow showers possible. In the next two days this air will spread quite quickly west and north covering...
