Very foggy night.

Snow in the evening.

29th. The snow that fell on Boxing Day evening is still lying - very cold, about -5 C, ever since then, though it warmed up to -1 C this afternoon.

'There were four consecutive nights from the 26-27th recorded beneath -20C... Although it was nowhere near as cold in the south, it was still cold: the lowest temperature at Elmdon (near Birmingham), for example, was -9.0C on the 29th.' [...]

Damp, misty evening.

I was so pleased to be invited to the party, that the grey winter skies, nondescript industrial purlieus and misty estuary valley almost seemed to light up.

Cold and damp.

Raining in the morning.

Started snowing again at 8am. In the afternoon the snow had become thick and soft, and people on campus were having snowball fights and building snowmen.

Walked home along the footpath over the fields - nearly a white-out. It was like the Zero Room, I expected to come out purged.'

Home by four, glad to get out of the cold - fine snow falling all day but no increase in depth.

Snow shower about 9.10; walked past a bloke who said 'Winter's begun eh?' More snow in the morning, then sunshine.

More snow at twelve, then about three it started again and didn't stop till about seven. The wind was driving copious snow.

Very cold east wind.

Grey, damp and cold.

Very cold, dark, grey day.
