-2.5° air temp. here at present.
(My kitchen hot-water tap looked like it was going to dispute whether to run or not first thing. It did that in that extremely cold spell last winter.)

Strangely the temperature never dropped any lower than the -1.9 at 10.00pm, it then stayed around the -1 mark the rest of the night, now on zero.
