Serious Cold Spell Sets In


The month may have got off to a mild start but there can be little doubt that we have no entered into a spell of seriously cold weather. It didn't get above freezing on Wednesday with a high temperature of -1.9°C and early in the morning a low of -5.8°C and an average daily temperature of -3.3°C.
It turned out to be our coldest day since that record breaking cold December of 2010 when on 21 December 2010 we had a low of -10.1°C, a high of -3.5°C averaging out at -7.4°C for the day.

With snow forecast for Friday and over the weekend and the cold spell extending into next week it’s going to be a testing time for plants and wildlife.

  1. They're already predicting travel chaos for tomorrow. We've been having a few flakes falling all afternoon, though I think it's supposed to start properly in the early hours.

    1. Perhaps they're going over the top. Let's hope so.
