Saturday continued the cold theme with just a little light dusting of fine snow which didn't really add to the amount we already had. It was a little bit milder than of late with the temperature just making it into positive territory.
After the very mild start to the month we could easily have seen a record breaking mild January but the recent cold snap has seen the average daily temperature fall rapidly and we've now dropped just below the expected average for the month.
We had a cold spell last year about the same time but it didn't last long with the last couple of weeks of January being around the average. It doesn't look like we will be so lucky this year as the forecast for the coming week doesn't look too promising and it looks like the cold spell will remain with us for most of next week.

We're forecast heavy snow tonight and in to the early hours. I just wish the gritters would come up our little cul-de-sac as the road gets so icy, it's treacherous already.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it could start around 21:00 and continue until Monday lunch time. Still time for it to change though.
DeleteNice clear graphic Martyn! Edinburgh is in the firing line for tomorrow rush hour, so it's going to be a bit chaotic: no one knowing whether the schools are open or not!
ReplyDeleteI think we're due to get it first as it moves northwards. Just warm enough for a little bit of a thaw to set in today as I've noticed a reading of 0.4mm on the rain gauge. If the forecast is correct it's going to snow all night and into tomorrow morning here.
