Blue sky white clouds view vast expanse of land-fast sea ice blocks lying wet sand beach, north of St Annes, Lancashire, UK
The winter of 2010-2011 included the coldest December since Met Office Records began in 1910. The mean December 2010 temperature was minus 1 degree Celsius. In some places the temperature was down to minus 10 degrees Celsius (14 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 beach in and around St Annes, on Lancashire's Fylde Coast, in December 2010 displayed large areas of land-fast blocks of sea ice, several centimetres thick. A blue sky white clouds view a vast expanse of land-fast sea ice on a wet beach north of St Annes. The sand right mid-distance has been disturbed by a 'Merry Christmas' inscription.
