It's been a chilly month so far. 

 

Average low: -10.6c

Average high: -3.0c

Highest: 3.0c

Lowest: -22.0c

 

It's about 4c colder than normal through the day, and 7-8c colder than normal at night. We've only had about a week without snow cover on the ground since the last week of November. 

 

A proper winter.

Yep, though only when accompanied by sauna.

A lovely weekend if weather for us. Sunny, a couple of degrees below during the day and a bit cooler overnight. 

 

Met with friends on the lake for ice fishing (we only stopped for an hour or so for sausages, hot chocolate and muffins). 21cm ice there now.

 

Today we went skiing. Great snow conditions after a fresh dusting overnight. I then cycled 32km up to the swimming pool and reconvened with the family. 

 

All change tomorrow though as we go back above freezing. A bit of a thaw is needed though. It's been almost two months now with only a few days snow free.

 

Eternally glad (from a weather perspective) to no longer be in the UK, as I believe you'll all be bearing down for the 9th named storm of the season.

It's been building up throughout the day here. Wind gusting around 50mph and driving rain at the moment, due to worsen as the night goes on.

It's a bit wet in The Yorkshire Dales at the moment!

Do you have a studded tyre or just some knobbly's for the snow / ice ?

Windy here, my wife caught this. Ironically they had a shutdown scheduled to change these cables on Thursday but it was too cold.

Nothing like the forecast here atm. No rain and its windy / blowy but definitely not what the forecast is showing it should be. Maybe its pushed further North or a little behind the predicted times. West Sussex / Surrey border
