This cold spell was pretty unusual for Romsey, but all the more so as it begun in late November, with temperatures rising above freezing only for short spells. We also had a 24 hour period (6 Dec to 7 Dec) where it remained below freezing, which I believe is the first time it's happened since I moved to Romsey. The day of 3 December only reached -1.7, after which it cooled, then warmed up in the early hours so was above freezing by 0900 on 4th. So you could say that was the coldest daytime max we've had, since the 0900 represents the weather of the next day. Oh the problems with 24 hour periods for recording max & min...!!

Overall December is running at +4.2 max, and -2.3 min, overall about 5 degrees below normal for December so far. I'll post an update at the end of the month. And 2 snowfalls too, 13 cm on 2nd Dec, and 5 cm on 18th.
