Despite looking on here over the last couple of days there were still 262 messages which had arrived overnight, dated 5th, 6th and today. The random delivery process is actually quite amusing as you now see the missing bits of threads which helps to make more sense of things. I blame the snow. Snow flurries earlier this morning by the way -- George in Epping, West...

Someone else mentioned this too. Ken or Will or ... perhaps? Can't remember who. My posts to uk.sci.weather via google groups are not appearing outside google it seems. I tend to use google groups from my MacBook at home and the PC at work as I do not have proper news reader installed on either machine. Andy

Boughton-under-Blean north Kent coast. The temp dropped to -10.0c overnight. The coldest this winter so far. In a post yesterday I mentioned that we were just about to come out of 66 hrs of below freezing temperatures. At 1030 the temp rose above 0c and a slight thaw set in. Temp at 0900 -6.2c.

Forgot to add, only small amounts of snow lying now in garden. Less than half cover in local area too. Eric Belton

Here is a summary of the NWP output for noon on Saturday. Issued 0449, 7/02/12 The weekend will see a great deal of settled but cold weather over England and perhaps Wales, with more in the way of cloud and possibly rain further north and west. Into next week the models are keen to bring milder westerlies across the UK with high pressure to the SW or south. Analysis and evolution to T+120...

Was expecting the fog, the gloom and the thaw to continue until at least Wednesday but the fog and cloud cleared later this afternoon and now the temperature is falling rapidly over the snow cover. Can't see this snow going anywhere just yet! Warmest day of the month today at, 4.3c Current temp -2.0c Graham (North Staffs)

Cloudy with occasional drizzle and light winds. Been at work today so could not go walking and assess the snow conditions, but I guess just patches left high up above 500 metres. And in Fernworthy forest of course where there was a lot left yesterday, enough for a snowball fight within the group, one lady has it in for me, which is nice :-) Max. +6.2C (on 6/2!!!). Now +3.4C at 2210. A cold...
