can't match the Sprunehorpe value but the coldest night here since 7 December 2010, Min was -8.4C, beautiful blue sky and many trees and bushes still got the Thursday night snowfall on them; also the 7th consecutive day of snow cover, just 1+cm, and the 11th consecutive air frost.

Just to compare to the incredible start to December 2010 temperature wise, then the first 10 days showed a mean of -0.6C, the 1st 10 days of February showed a mean of 0.0C
