Storm Bella - Nothing Out of the Ordinary

Storm Bella arrived as forecast in the early hours of Saturday night and had passed through by dawn on Sunday morning. She came with some strong gusty winds and a decent amount of rain but nothing that we shouldn't expect in December. This December will be one of the least windy Decembers I've recorded.
Temperature & Rainfall Records December 2020

We're now into what looks like a coldish spell of weather with the temperatures hovering around the 0°C or 32°F mark by day and by night.

On Tuesday morning we had a light covering of wet slushy snow. 

It looks like the last week of this December could be the coldest December week I’ve recorded in eleven years although the month certainly won’t finish up as cold as 2010, which was the start of our coldest winter in 100 years. It just happens that the last week of December 2010 wasn’t particularly cold but the rest of the month was bitterly cold with temperatures well below freezing through both day and night.

Despite a temperature of only 1.7°C (35.1°F) this morning’s snowfall is thawing and the forecast suggests showery rain for the rest of the morning rather than snow.
