In South Ockendon, the lowest temperature we got was -4°C.  There is still is frost on the roofs and on the grass.

I still have frost in my back garden where the sun hasn't reached yet!

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Still very Frosty here some cars not thawed all day, same again tonight and tomorrow perhaps a touch warmer Friday but cold be very cold over weekend.. 

Proper dry winter weather. Just like we had at the start of Jan 

I love this kind of weather! 

[Jimmyh]

I reckon it will be colder tonight a brief warmer period on Friday, then very cold over weekend. I cant see the zonal stuff getting in.

Good effort! Quick, give Carol a call and tell her to swop out Gravesend for Cantebury at the top of her leader board!

Min got down to -5.9C in my back garden.

EDIT: Carol has just put up a revised leader board and top is Frittenden in Kent at -7C.

On the local news Kate Kinsella also reported -7C at the Frittenden treacle mining station. Don't think tonight will be so cold.. Just sub zero again, though frost hasn't gone at all

all the ice has gone here, but fear not, brought some stuffs for when it starts to get warmer, some t-shirts and light jumpers and shoes. So it will now snow.

[MONKEYJAM]

This time yesterday it was -0.3c here at 5.43pm today same time it's -1.2c !! Is it going to be colder tonight??

 

[Angel15]

Still frosty here in Kent, the bird bath didn't thaw all day .. been a gorgeous day though .. as was yesterday .. but well chilly 

[TROY]

Another sub zero night in Seaford East Sussex, frost has not cleared all day in the shade. It has gone chilly. But hopefully another cracking day Thursday. Good Health to you all.

[Mark wheeler]

Forecast has changed a lot in recent days . Nice cold weather.

only the weather gods could give Barcelona snow and not us .

[Daniel*]

Coldest night of the winter here if not certainly up there a very hard frost to greet the new day. Great winter weather second to snow on the ground. Into the mod thread I go.  

[Captain Shortwave]

A cloudier day here today as the gunk further north has slowly moved southwards again. 

[alexisj9]

For some reason I have 0.2 rain fall, I'. assuming that must be frost melt.

[Matty J]

You really couldn't make it up could you!

Everywhere in the freezer including Snow near Alicante in Spain.

Always lurking, never posting!  But this is the view of the pool from our apartment in Javea (Costa Blanca).  This was taken early this morning, 4 inches I was told and they've had a lot more since.  We had talked about going over there this weekend but not got round to booking!!

I wish I had kept a record of the number of frosts here this winter. At a guess it must be one of the highest totals for many years.

So yet another very frosty morning here after an overnight min of -4.4C. Carol's leader board has Farnborough at the top this morning with -5C.

The dry, frosty weather sees the continuation of the drought for most in our Region though, despite the wet day last week. This from the Met Office yesterday:
