This winter has been abysmal for cold weather. Yesterday was the 3rd day this winter where I have recorded a sub zero temperature. The low yesterday for Cliffe Woods as -1.5 compared to frost hollow Ellis, in Hawley, at -5.2. The local fields looked amazing in white and the photos below where quick snaps taking on the good old iPhone 4s!
Even with the cold nights and the forecast of more cold next week the lack of rain will probably mean limited snow. Last year was the 2nd driest year I have recorded at 418mm which is around 40% lower than a normal year. January 2012 has started of in a similar vain as well. Whilst we are stuck in a zonal weather pattern at the moment, with the atlantic determining our weather, it is not helping out with rain in the South East.
Oh and for the record I don't believe we will see and really cold weather in Jan or snow and whilst I will be disappointed I can't see Feb being any different either!
What a shite winter!!
Good photo's (as usual) But I disagree with your prediction for Feb, and as my LRF has completely smashed yours then optimism should be the buzz word for Feb!
