good afternoon all, well after a surprising low of -5.2c  today has warmed up to 2c, dew point currently 0.9, hoping these temps drop quickly enough that if anything does fall from the skies it will be snow, lol

A good deal of cloud overnight but also a few clear intervals; the cloud was thick enough to produce a little very fine snow at some point overnight.

Clear periods after dawn which is when the lowest temperature of the 'night' occurred.
