Beautiful frost yesterday morning across the region, temp dropped to -5c and left a nice icy covering.

[Kent Snow]

Overnight low -0.6C, which left some Ice in shaded areas away from the wind.

[johnholmes]

overnigh low of -0.3C

[Andy Bown]

A min of -4c gave us a harsh and very icy frost this morning.

Guess who slipped on ice going to check his thermometer

[Kent Snow]

-2.5C the low overnight, which gave a frost.

Perfect for a snow shower that fell at around 0800 to settle on.

We have a had a frost every day this week.

[Kent Snow]

The temperature dropped to -2C last night which gave a frost before temperatures recovered later with the cloud cover.

I have had two frosts this week. Tonight I am prepared. I have my nightcap, pyjamas,

bed socks, hot water bottle, and a big teddy bear which is my partner Keef.

PS And a hot chocolate which Keef is making me now. Mmmmmmmmmm

Still no temp lower than -5c this winter. It was that low last night, just about midnight, and seemed a stone walled certainty to drop lower. However I expect cloud cover associated with snow that got within about 5 miles prevented anything harsher.

The ground is frozen as are some lakes nearby.

My father said someone over town told him Bournemouth had recorded -9c!!

[johnholmes]

overnight low here of ms 3.0C, makes about 7 this past 8-10 days I think
