NOTE : An eight-day amber cold-health alert for the North East & North West England, has been issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).

It is in effect from 20:00 on Sunday, 28th DECEMBER 2025 until 12pm on Monday, 5th January 2026

UKHSA says forecast conditions are likely to cause significant impacts, particularly for older people and those with existing health conditions, leading to increased demand for health & social care services during this period of prolonged cold weather.

We’ve had an exceptionally cold December here in Vermont - with a major ice storm predicted for tonight.
And so many more months of cold to go! : (

Late afternoon [day three / 30th December 2025]

If anything, it feels even colder than yesterday, despite the cloud being far more broken - enough for some blue sky to be visible !
It has stayed dry and is not windy, thankfully.

It's now day seven [3rd Jan 2026]

Still bitingly cold, although the temperatures are not exceptionally low for this part of the UK.
Sunny, dry, light winds.

Fortunately, no snow to speak off. What there is looks more like a hard frost !

Ditto for day eight [4th Jan 2026]

Distinctly possible that the already increased alerts will be further extended by the Met Office.
[Currently the outer limit was 6th instead of the original 5th]
