Temp currently at 2C. I have no idea how cold it got last night as I didn't record it. Certainly was frosty and icy this morning; still some icy patches around now.

[Just Before Dawn]

Afternoon all.

The fog this morning was pretty impressive over the Lincolnshire Wolds - patchy freezing fog with temperatures around or marginally below freezing and visibility down to approximately 30 yards in the really thick patches.

[johnholmes]

well the clearance did not last long, its foggy again, about 600m,(the airport never cleared), no sun, temp beginning to drop a little.

I though I'd better post a report as I havent done for a while now.

Conditions: After a dissapointing cloudy start (with no fog, just a sort of haze) which helped the temp rise to 4.8°C its now more or less clear now with some hazy sunshine.
