Light snow showers and sunny intervals this morning. A thin temporary snow cover from some of the showers but none of them lasting long enough, or heavy enough, for anything significant and the main action about 20 miles to the north west.
Current temp' is 0.5c with sunny intervals and 6 oktas Ci and Cu.
Patiently awaiting the return of the Younger Dryas.

An overcast morning followed by some clearances during the afternoon but little in the way of any sunshine. It has been mainly dry aswell apart from some light rain before midday. Rather cold however with a max temp of 3.1C but yet again we missed out on the first air frost of the season with a min of 1.1C.

Currently 2.4C and 92% humidity. 0.2mm of rain so far.

Theres a few showers approaching but the dewpoint is 1.1C, so they'll likely be rain or sleet.
