Good frost here overnight before some cloud came over. but the batteries in my sensor went flat so have no idea what the low was. Was cold enough to freeze the soil on my garden and damage some plants though.

2.6° Outside presently & reasonable frost, caught me by surprise, needing to add bedding in the middle of the night. Serves me right for not paying attention to the forecast.

Did manage to get down to -1.5 before the cloud came in during the night,at 10.00pm last night it was + .5,so if it wasn't for the cloud it would have been maybe a -3 at least.
