Are you Carlton Onion? 😉
-5 just over the water in the carse of gowrie, not a record, seen -5.9 already this winter.
mcmoonter - MemberAre you Carlton Onion?
For you, darling, I could be....
0 in Dorset at dinner time, -3 this morning at the seaside. No snow though.
Not sure about tonight, but last night it got down to -4.5 deg. C in Peterborough.
Supposed to be more snow overnight as well to add to the not insubstantial smattering we had yesterday.
+1 in Bristol which is rubbish as I've got a dawn ride planned and wanted fast frozen trails not mush
Pah.
I remember winters growing up in the Highlands when it would be -27 for weeks on end.
Possibly.
Stuarie, are you in anyway related to Kevin Dangerous? Are you familiar with the Dangerous Exaggeration Factor (DEF) A slight chill when multiplied by the DEF becomes Absolute Zero.
Was -2C just outside Stirling by the Ochils today before 11...then it jumped to 2C as I went to Carron Valley...then 0C when I returned via Denny...
car was telling me -6 this morning and chatting to someone they had -8, in the Cotswolds
-4 in the Cheviots late this morning, not sure at the moment in Alnwick if I can be arsed I'll check as the nearest weather station is on the coast so is way off the temp here.
Car is telling me it's minus 9 here.
Nah - seen -25C in Highlands before - had my car radiator freeze solid. Coldest week I've had up there only got up to -15C in the daytime, then dropped to below -20 every night.
Goan -9C you say? We are coming night riding on the North side of Innerleithen the morns night. Should be interesting if it stays that cold.
-2 just now, supposed to be -5 tomorrow morning and -8 on xmas day...... 🙁 i'm just over the water from you!
-6 showing on the car this morning, west of Welshpool on me way to Cadair Idris. About a million degrees colder on the top of Cadair Idris. After sweating my way to the top, my hair froze solid!
mcmoonter - i would count on it being very interesting. 😀
it was reading -5 in the car in falkirk at 20:00
Goan, Fancy coming? meeting at 7 in the Innerleithen car park, prob leave 7.30
I'm heading out a bit earlier round Inners XC. Cheers for the invite though.
This clip sums up the weather round here just now
😉
-7 this morning when I went to work.

"Now that is a wind chill! From Fox Forecast today..."
Methinks it may be a typo.
I got -19.6°C outside my kitchen window at the moment. 😯 Just come back from snowboarding about half an hour ago and it's just getting colder. Warmest today was -8.8°C.(I'm in South Germany though). 🙄
Just back home (East Kilbride) after a long day visiting relatives in Stockport. Car thermometer hit minus 10 on the high section of the M74 about an hour ago. It was single lane from Kendal to Hamilton, with a few nutters in their Range Rovers venturing into the middle lane, and a fair few cars, incl 4X4's, off the road, on verges, 1 upside down and 1 pointing the wrong way. Th last gritter we saw was south of Lancaster.......
temp here minus 7 - positively tropical 😆
Koeln - We were there for NY two years ago at friends. It was probably nearer 2degrees then!
Today in Edale was -5c
McM,
I remember driving through Altnaharra just before New Year 1996 and it was -27C which, according to the Met Office is the lowest ever [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/understanding/uk_records.shtml ][i]recorded [/i]temperature[/url] in the UK (-27.2).
It was truly Baltic and a Talbot Samba wasn't the ideal vehicle for the conditions.
Sorry, 21 here, suns out, clear sky. NZ innit.
Yep, Jan 82 - remember it well - spent two weeks ice climbing in the Highlands on hols - inc Steal Waterfall which was frozen solid.
It's bastardy cold here, that's all I know.
Warmed up here in Calgary
was -33 on monday morning on my way to work
its -5 at the moment{7.30 pm}
-1500 here, call me on my sat phone for an update : 21341877610-009837

Just started the car and it was showing -8ºC, luckily there's no wind, Madrid!
29 degrees C here
It is midwinter though
Not sure but there is ICE under the fluffy snow as I jsut found out whilst walking the dog. Be careful. No sign of gritters and its central Manchester here.
i just saw a gritter........in morham !

Italspark. Inners? Are you gay?
sorry, got a stonkin hangover after a heavy night at cc blooms,.....fully expect to be endoing my way down the rocky in the snow.......bring it on!
Inners snow seems to have an incredibly grippy texture to it today. Matador rocked 😀

was -13 the last 2 nights here, and -11 during the day yesterday. now warmed up to a balmy -6 (and now snowing again).
