And even colder!

Monday was sunny but on the down side the coldest day I’ve recorded. I’ve no need to worry about which days have the coldest records anymore as Monday has them all. The lowest temperature I’ve recorded minus 10.3, the lowest daytime temperature minus 2.7 and the coldest average daily temperature minus 7.6.

The temperature graph along side shows these values. I think it might be a while before these values are exceeded.

We seem to be heading for one of the coldest December’s on record. I remember looking at the daily average temperatures for December 1890, at the time, the coldest on record. The coldest daily average for that month was minus 6.8°C and I thought there’s no way we'll get temperatures like that nowadays. How do you get an average daily temperature of minus 6.8°C? I know now!

We managed to get out and about a bit yesterday. This photo was from the M1 looking towards Ossett as the sun started to set. What's that about red sky at night?
