to air frost. However, those places into which cold air can drain are particularly prone to frost. Examples include the deep valley of the River Dee around Braemar which lies well within the Grampian Mountains. The graphs show the average frequency of air and ground frost at Braemar and Edinburgh

at the station, days with snow lying and the total depth of undrifted snow at the station, normally at about 09 GMT. Observers also sent, where possible, notes on snow cover in the surrounding hills or mountains at various heights (at intervals of about 150 metres) even if snow cover did not extend

, with the wettest area being to the northwest of Fort William (over 4000 mm per year). Over the lower lying islands the average is less than about 1600 mm whilst near the Moray Firth, to the lee of the mountains, it is only about 700 mm. These values can be compared with annual totals around 500 mm in the driest

significant disruption, with Manchester Airport closed on 5th and the A66 between Cumbria and County Durham closed across the Pennines. Other airports were also affected including Bristol, Leeds and Liverpool. Many motorists had difficult journeys with higher routes in the Pennines affected by lying snow

night is expected tonight with temperatures dipping as low as -16°C where we have lying snow in Scotland and northern England. Temperatures will also be well below freezing across much of the UK so there is a continued risk of ice overnight and through Friday morning’s rush hour. “Milder air

The gap between the black curves and blue shading arises because the last observed value represents the period November
