Late in season for that, when nights are not as long as in June/July.

Second coldest morning of the year here with -5.4C, West Melton must have been in the perfect zone the last two mornings of far enough inland but not close enough to the mountains to get that wee foehn wind come through :-k

Slight frosting from what I saw at 7am this morning. Down to 0.2C, which surprisingly, I thought would be much lower than that. Not much snow along Mt. Peel and the foothills to what I thought it may of been.

Dipped down as low as -1.1deg this morning, staring to get lighter now, another three or so weeks and it will only be after southerly outbreaks that frosts will happen.
