January certainly departed on a cold note with the temperature remaining below freezing all day.

| Temperature & Wind Chill Records 30 January - 01 February 2019 |
It remained misty all day long too along with a temperature of around -2.5°C (27.5°F) for most of the daylight hours. The coldest was -3.1°C (26.4°F) at 18:40.
Although it was the coldest day of the year it wasn't a record breaker. It was the coldest January day since 25 January 2013 when the temperature fell to -4.8°C (23.4°F) but to find a colder day, we only have to go back to late last February when the "Beast from the East" struck. On the 28 February 2018 the average daily temperature was -4.2°C (24.4°F) with a low of -5.7°C or 21.7°F.
February has started off with a very light dusting of snow.
The bird bath was well and truly frozen over and it looked like someone had already been trying to get a drink.
Some hot water soon thawed it out but I'll need to keep checking it throughout the day to see if it freezes over again.

Enjoyable post. I like the pictures especially the first one.
ReplyDeleteCan't take credit for the first photo as Sue snapped it with her phone as we drove past the park on Thursday morning.
