You can still quote, but you chose what you want to quote rather than the whole thing.

indeed, but not everyone does this since the new feature (thank you for doing so though )

  @lassie23 and that will be in August

[lassie23]

  @Jason T there will not be enough cold air to tap into in August

[alexisj9]

  @Freeze no not really, may be a little, but this fog had drizzle.

[alexisj9]

  @lassie23 if we don't have at least one cold spell by then, I'm moving, to one of the poles

[Jason T]

  @lassie23  blimey must be August now.

[lassie23]

  @Jason T Good news from the MOD thread, the mojo is in phase 555,000

[Jason T]

  @lassie23 the mojo..love it that's definitely what our winters are lacking.

[Freeze]

Is the current shoreham airport reading of -0.5c correct? It feels cold but everywhere around here is much warmer, seems odd? 

[Neilsouth]

Feels colder again tonight, me no likey :(

[alexisj9]

  @Freeze is it a frost hollow, it a clear night with a high, temps will drop.

[Darkcloud]

Currently -0.9°C after a beautiful day here with not a single cloud in the sky!

Looks to be pretty benign for the next week thankfully. Hopefully a chance for the ground to dry out but I can't help frantically scanning the models for the next chase lol!

[alexisj9]

  @Darkcloud I've bought a sunburst but it's sitting on my window sill waiting for spring. Frost might kill it of before it's established.

[Londonweather]

Currently 5c in central London. Taken on my Davis vantage Vue.

[lottiekent]

It was only meant to get down to 4c here overnight but the frost hollow effect is working well as it is -1.9c

Looking round at local stations it’s very variable, several degrees above or below freezing depending on topography and a fair few -4c across rural Kent and Sussex!

[snowblind]

-1.4 and still falling.

[Stroudley]

As others have noted, colder than expected with a noticeable frost. Overnight low of -1.9C. And I don’t think we can be considered a frost hollow, here on the coast…

[Freeze]

-1.6c the low funny how the south coast is the coldest place in the region, not often that happens.

Its not really a frost hollow it's half a mile from the coast and it was much colder than forecast last night, was predicted no lower than 5c but ended up 7c lower.

Well, the daffs are out, reminded me of knocker, not sure if knockers still on here, may have changed the name to something else 

[snowrye]

Anyway, I hope everybody is OK. No sign of anything snowy for us yet. To be honest, I'm not sure they'll be anything again. Seems to be getting harder and harder to get anything decent here now. 

[lassie23]

  @snowrye maybe knocker has been knocked off for knocking those that like cold
