It was a mistake to turn the heating off while I was away - the house was freezing, 44°F downstairs, 48°F upstairs. NB for next November.

Exciting fog patches, and then fog, on the M6.

Till early afternoon a real dry winter day with some sun, reminded me of the 1979 Spring Flowers stamps for some reason - not the weather depicted on them, but the weather I might've looked at them in.

Very cold last night, -5°C, with a coating of further snow, but in the morning it was warmer and there was a general thaw during the day at last. I expect the snow was caused by the first bit of the warmer air getting pushed up over the retreating polar continental air.

Perhaps a dusting of snow overnight, but it could just've been frost. A couple of days ago I dropped a big chunk of ice on the patio - all the bits were still there today, as sharp-edged as they were when I broke it.

Flakes of snow at 9am, some sun during the day through cirrostratus, the moon likewise in the evening.

Went out at 10pm to smoke to find it had been snowing for some time. That hissing, dry sound of it falling.

Very cold, grey day. Two of my fingers got white and cold on the steering wheel while I was exercising the car. Found from the NHS website that this was 'frostnip', treatment: immersion in warm water. Had always been told as a kid not to do that, but stuck them in a glassful and it worked a treat. Quite interesting to watch the colour gradually returning.
