Grey sky white sun view, across Ribble Estuary, salt-marsh with water pool and sea ice with tree branch edge of calm seawater, Fairhaven, Lancashire
The winter of 2010-2011 included the UK's coldest December since Met Office Records began in 1910. The UK's mean December 2010 temperature was minus one degree Celsius. In some places the temperature was down to minus 10 degrees Celsius (14 degrees F). Late November to Boxing Day 2010 included two spells of severe winter weather in the UK with very low temperatures and significant snowfall. The first cold spell lasted two weeks from Thursday, 25 November to Thursday, 9 December. The UK was under the influence of a prolonged north-easterly airstream drawing bitterly cold air from Northern Europe and Siberia. The beach between Fairhaven and St Annes, on Lancashire's Fylde Coast, in December 2010 displayed large areas of land-fast sea ice, several centimetres sky view, looking south across the River Ribble Estuary, of slat-marsh with water pool and sea ice at the margins of calm seawater, between Farhaven and St Annes.
