Ice on the roof and windscreen of my car this morning got down to 0.9 degrees. Sadly my pumpkins have been hit by the frost
Looks like most of the corn is has escaped being hit though.

cold one here this morning (for us!) around 8C I think, going to be cold here from Sunday night on too, local weather forecaster has 4-7C for us for Monday and Tuesday morning, will be a bit of a shock!
