Well, I would love to get some snow now. The forecast says very cold weather the coming week and frost without snowcover isn't my favorite weather 
We had our first day today with 24 hours below 0^oC and more to come

Just seen our forecast for the coming week, looks as if we are in for a cold spell. Still whatever we get now won't be anything like we had last year.
Roll on spring.

Snow: Probably the main reason I stayed up here in the North and have now been here for 30 years! I love the ability to just put on skis and go off on a long back country trip seeing parts I would never get to see in summer as it's too far or too inaccesible in summer (bogs are frozen in winter). Love the stuff!

-22 now, which is quite cold, but normal. Swimming trips are getting a bit chilly .

Shocking to hear of the depths of the freezing temperatures being felt in the Ukraine, Poland and places in Eastern Europe.... so many dying. Poor souls.

Red kite and two "cronking" Ravens flew over first thing this morning, the female Teal is still hanging around despite the freeze but having to make do with a tiny strip of water from a spring that hasn't frozen.

edit sorry wrong thread

Hard frost overnight with bad forecast tomorrow so snow poles erected in all poly tunnels this afternoon, already fleeced over less hardy plants. Ready for anything this time.

[Maggi Young]

Fingers crossed that it is not as bad as the forecast threatens, Rob.

First night below zero this winter, -4°C and hardly any frost,it is very dry down on the South Coast, keep getting static shocks off of everything.  Saying that only tomorrow is cold then we are back to above freezing temperatures.

You are lucky man Neil. In Czech we have from last week -12°C during day and -19°C to -35°C during night. Last night I had -2°C in my pleione house .
