White sunshine through grey clouds above oblique expanse of land-fast sea ice on sand beach east 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, displayed large areas of land-fast sea ice, several centimetres thick. An oblique view of land-fast sea ice, on the sand beach east of St Annes, towards an area of saltmarsh. A white winter sun shines through grey clouds.
