Here's hoping the New Year starts off kindly for everyone.

Smokey outside right now

[Christine]

Dark at the moment. Not going to be warm. Nasty north wind on the forecast.

[snowdrops]

Very wet & dark at the moment, family coming round later for a meal so our granddaughter will brighten our day 😊

[lettice]

Drizzly and grey early  start to the New Year.
Been driy but still grey and cloudy for most of the morning and 10c now.
Expect it will get colder later when the wind turns from SW to Northerly.

Foggy first thing, but now just grey and miserable. Thankfully it isn't as cold as yesterday.

[Goosegirl]

After two frosty nights it's cold and damp with a brisk northerly wind.

[Paul Plots]

A really cold night last night (3rd) but tonight seems a little warmer... still with a frost.

The day was glorious and ended with a lovely sunset not that the sun gave much heat during daylight hours.

Better than biting winds and rain.

[Yorkie]

Bracing.  (That's your true northern understatement, you understand!)

Had to have a bath this evening just to warm up 

[Paul Plots]

I know just what "bracing" means Yorkie - a week on the north west coast of N. Ireland one winter years ago - flipping chilly. Beautiful but.....I was still shivering when we touched down at Gatwick and on the train home.

Here:
Where the sun don't shine we had lumps of ice this morning!

But it was milder and sunny during the day... right now a gentle rain so hopefully no overnight frosty bits.

[mumofstig]

Grey, misty and drizzly but at least it is milder than the last few days!

Was hoping for a clear sunny day for a nice walk, oh well 

[Goosegirl]

Quite foggy here which has increased over the morning so can hardly see the next fields.

[Paul Plots]

Very mild here today.... I wandered about outside without a coat, jacket or a jumper.

Not a lot of sunshine but temperatures in double figures - even the aviary shed maintained a min of 11C overnight.

Colder things to come I'm sure but no fog here Goosegirl.

[robinahood]

Oh dear. My blow away greenhouse has lived up to it's name! The cover is who knows where!! Very strong gusts of wind, but quite mild here.

[Goosegirl]

A rather strong north-easterly wind is currently blowing everything all over the place and the cat flap won't stay shut!

[jaydig]

Lovely and sunny here at the moment, but with a very strong wind.  I feel so sorry for those further north who don't have any power, and hope it is restored soon.
