temp currently sitting on -3.8°C with some light fog hanging round. hope it buggers off or could be another chilly one.
good to see some decent frosts coming finally.
by this time last year we'd had 5 mornings colder than -4°C already and last year was the great non-existent winter.....

Brizzah!
Been very unfrosty here actually.... not much of a winter at all really. Couple of good crunchy mornings but nothing notable like it has in past years..
