Re: Frosts 2018
Good white frost here this morning with the camelia trees covered in frost.
Down to minus 3.2C but much colder on the ground.
NW cloud cover didn't move away until after lunch so temperatures were very slow to rise.

Re: Frosts 2018
There was frost in Halswell around midnight that was gone by dawn so it warmed significantly in the wee small hours

Re: Frosts 2018
The frost a couple days ago has done a good job of burning new shoots of grass. Was -3, so not exceptionally low, so I am a bit surprised to see the burning.

Re: Frosts 2018
Cloud and rain cleared away overnight to become fine and frosty this morning.
Interestingly, the frost was quite quick to disappear.
Down to minus 1.9C.
