Chilly first thing, then drizzle mid morning.  Now looking grey, but fairly mild out there. It is starting to get blowy though.

Garden plans shelved until after the storm passes

Bit grim here, not awfully cold but very grey and a little breeze. Awaiting the arrival of storm Bella

Raining and feels cold.   I can see the wind is beginning to pick up, so I think Bella is on her way.

The rain/hail/wind woke me in the night, trying to batter through the windows by the sound of it.  Quite calm this morning and it's not raining. Greenhouses both still standing.

We actually got a (sort of) white Christmas!  It snowed a little on Christmas Eve - just enough to make it lethal! - and a bit more on Christmas morning, but it had disappeared by Boxing Day.

Today had a bit of everything but, as with most days round about now, we needed the lights on for most of the day.  It was pleasant and sunny, but only about 2degC around 1-2pm.

[John]

No snow here but a small chance we'll see a little. I spoke too soon about the greenhouses Although both looked OK from the house, when I went out to the hens realised a pane was shattered in the Vitavia. Luckily I had a spare so it's repaired now. Not sure if something blew into it or the wind flexed the frames which stressed the glass. Problem with tempered glass is that when it goes, it's total. A zillion bits of glass to clean up.

Deeply lies the frost, deep and white and even. Not warm.

[Blewit]

Thick mist and one degree.

Same here.  Everything sparkling with a heavy frost.  No sign of the predicted snow yet.

Hazy sunshine and completely calm here, the greenhouse doors are frozen shut so can't tell how cold it got overnight in there, but it is only 1C outside now. Paths are very slippy though

[John]

When I went to bed at 1am there was a thin layers of wet snow with more lightly falling. All melted away by the morning. My radio weather thingy tells me we've had 9mm of rain in the last 24 hours and it's 1.6ºC out there. Not too much wind by the way the trees are swaying.

[JayG]

 Was 0.6C a few hours ago, now 0.2C with a 'feels-like' of -3.3C 
Dull but dry - suppose it would be a bit irresponsible to wish for anything more 'exciting' in the current circumstances.

[Plot 1 Problems]

We've got the snow!

[wighty]

Cold, especially in exposed areas.  Compton Beach had about 40 surfers out this morning at 9 am.  Must have been freezing in the water.  We have a weather warning on the Island for sleet later.

Another silvery frost covering the rooftops and grass this morning. 

Birdies massing in the garden when I went out to let the chooks out.  I always feed the wild ones as well first thing and I think word has got around.  Lots of beedy little eyes watching me today
