Watford at 0130 about -1C, expect it will go to -2 to -3 tonight- Just enough to get a thin layer of ice on the pond.

Lovely clear night though.

-1C, hovering around and not really going any lower. Why does it not keep getting lower on a clear night?

[❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️]

Wow dropped to -1.9C allready, how is it fluctuating so much?

[MrAdam]

Well it's down to -3c here for me at the moment. Birmingham Airport is down to -5c according to XCWeather which is only 15 miles away but shocking. Was at -2c already when I got in my car at 9 this evening. My electric windows on the car had completely frozen and couldn't be opened! It's very refreshing outside anyway and a perfect clear sky out!

What's your altitude, RRR?. It sounds to me as though you might be say, 40 or 50 mts, perhaps more, above lower ground such as a river valley; or perhaps you're at the upper end of a gently sloping area. Either way, as the air cools under clear skies it sinks and flows to the lowest point and if you're on the margin of the pool of cold air, or just above it, there's a constant slight mixing with slightly warmer air above, hence the sudden temperature fluctuations.

As the night progresses and the pool of cold air deepens, the fall in temperature will be steadier, provided you aren't so high up that you're always on the margin, or above, the coldest air.

[Optimus Prime]

Cold, currently -3.4c after a low of -4.1c. Coldest night of the winter so far, beating -2.3c set in October.

[shadowfax]

Everything still frozen solid, the fog keeps on drifitng up and down the valley. clear sky except for the con trails and we still have about three inches of frozen snow on the ground, however on the cobbles and pavements this is now sheet ice and very dangerous. We could do with a bit of a thaw to clear the paths and my horse would like to see some grass!!
