[Guest]

A little above freezing here Capestang 34310 in southern France but it is snowing - ou est les Printemps?

[reef]

Currently clear and frosty with a temperature of -4.2C. Although not that notable compared to some parts its actually the second coldest March night for 23 years already here!

It will be interesting to see what the minimum ends up at, still a couple of hours of cooling to go yet.

[trickydicky]

-6 here, poor lambs.

[frostyjoe]

its currently -8.4c and clear not one bit of frost! and we are expected to rise to 8c today but yet the midlands didnt get as low yesterday and they got 3c maxes... how did that happen?

[johnholmes]

Another frost, even colder than Sunday morning with a min today of -6.2C, still back to the -6.6C in Feb 2008, blue cloudless sky and no wind-its the 7th consecutive air frost morning.

[Osbourne One-Nil]

its currently -8.4c and clear not one bit of frost!

But at your nearest Met Office Station, it's currently -2. What makes you so much colder than anywhere comparable?

Currently -6.1C here, after a low of -6.8C. This sent me looking for my coldest March night, but I quickly found three sub-minus 10s, so it's not even close.

[Guest]

First frost for a couple of days, down to -5C locally. Still more than enough snow to call a Met-O snow day, the 13th consecutive such day. The snow has survived a full week in the "spring" sunshine

the nearest one is actually -5c but its around -6 now here as the sun rises temp here quick. and ballycastle is right on the coast and everytime you go down there is foggy when its sunny everywhere else... they are right on the east coast.

An amazing morning (looking from the warmth of the car or office!), bone dry and clear as crystal, with beautiful sunshine and blue skies. Dew-points dropped to -6.8 DgC yesterday and have barely risen above -3.0 DgC all weekend.

Low last night of -3.0c, currently blue skies and a chilly -1.8c.

Sadly if the BBC are to be believed it will all start to cloud over in the next couple of hours. No signs of it yet tho!

Seriously cold night for March at -5.8c, that would be a very cold night in the middle of winter, let alone the start of spring! However, it is some way off the -7.6c I got in March 2006. Gorgeous day though, unbroken sunshine.

[SP1986]

Not horrifically cold here like other places had, I suspect it's partly to do with being on the top of a relative hill.

-2.6C the overnight low, warming up quickly, currently 6.8C
