Easily the best frost of the year this morning. Got to -4.2°C earlier, with it still being -3.6°C.
Another pws just down the road got to -5.7°C which is probably a better reflection of the low as my station is not in the best position for the low temps.

Frozen ice pellets on the decking this morning, but the roads weren't all that treacherous on the way to work this morning. Down to minus 1.1C.

-0.7 here at the moment.
I'm thankful for the cloud-cover that moved in last night and stopped temperatures plummeting to the ferocious low that had been forecast.

We got to -3.2°C just before 1am before same cloud came over. I'd prefer it if it remained clear cause now we have no sun and it's still damn cold and miserable, with little chance of warming up much at all. Oh well.

Not much of a frost here this morning because of cloud cover, but the temperature in the screen did dip down to minus 2.1C overnight.
