As I expected Sunday turned out to be the coldest day of the month. The highest temperature reached was 5.2°C (41.4°F) with a low of -0.6°C (30.9°F) producing a daily average of 2.6°C (36.7°F).
It's certainly been a very mild start to December and I thought comparing the temperatures with December 2010 which was exceptionally cold might be interesting.

| Blue Line Temperature for December 2010 and Red Line Temperature for December 2015 |
So each month began quite differently this year very mild compared to 2010 which was very cold. We seem to have arrived at a time towards the middle of the month where there isn't too much to choose between them. December 2010 had a real cold snap leading up to Christmas. The temperature plummeted down to around -10.5°C (13.1°F) and most things froze solid whether they were inside or out.

| Bird Bath 13 December 2010 |
So far this month our bird bath has remained ice free apart from Sunday morning when it had a light covering. Back in 2010 the bird bath looked like it had been stored in the freezer for a few weeks.
Here's hoping that the mild weather continues as if nothing else it keeps the heating bills down.
