This is how far I’d got at writing Sunday’s blog post on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>

I’m hoping that Saturday, 21 January will turn out to be the coldest day of the year. At 08:40 on Saturday morning, the temperature had fallen to -4.8\u00b0C (23.4\u00b0F), the lowest temperature this year and slightly lower than anything we had last year.\u00a0<\/p>

It doesn’t quite make it into the list of top twenty coldest days as -4.9\u00b0C is required to get into equal twentieth position. The morning began as though it was going to be a cold crisp winter’s day but by mid-morning, some thick mist or fog had descended and it didn’t lift all day. The day’s high temperature was 0.0\u00b0C or 32.0\u00b0F in the middle of the afternoon.<\/p><\/blockquote>

My intention was to fill in the details on Sunday morning. However, I didn’t anticipate what the weather had in store. Before Saturday was out the temperature had fallen to -5.8\u00b0C or 21.6\u00b0F.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

The temperature hovered around this level for most of the night until it started to lift around 6:00 am. At just after 4:00 am the temperature fell to its coldest at -5.9\u00b0C or 21.4\u00b0F.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

In the end, Sunday morning’s temperature was the coldest I’ve recorded in January since starting my weather records in 2010. It’s also become the 9th equal coldest temperature I’ve recorded since 2010.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

It is worth noting that the top eight places in the coldest temperatures listing are all from 2010 when the winter was considered to be a one in a hundred years event so Sunday’s temperature of -5.9\u00b0C was quite an unusual event.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
