Re: Frosts 2016
-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.)

Re: Frosts 2016
Down to minus 1.9 this morning.
Did not notice any 'black' ice on the way to work this morning so, just in case, drove down main roads.

Re: Frosts 2016
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.
