Getting a little colder each night, Sat 3rd, -2.1C, Sun 4th -2.4C , hoping the finale tonight may be the coldest night of the winter (predict -2.7 by extrapolation), even though have 7 weeks of it to go.

Ground temp has dropped 4 degrees in the past few days so that will be helping to drop air temp at night. I’m picking -3.5 coming tonight. Still not into positives yet so I anticipate a quick cooling this evening. Havnt had a 5.30pm ice form in quite a few years so might be on the cards tonight.

Another ground frost here in the open areas along our street, no frost in my garden so far so subtropical plants should be okay.

Running 2C lower here at the moment compared to the same time yesterday, if the wind stays away we could be looking at -8C here in West Melton…

Easterly breeze and scattered clouds in town, should take the edge off things

Lawn, driveway, roofs, and footpath across the street are white with frost, though air temp apparently remained above 0° all night.
Currently around +3°C.

Another good frost here overnight but it went off earlier than yesterday as high cloud cover from the west moved across.
Down to minus 5.5C again resulting in a rather cold day with a thickening NW Arch with no sunshine and no wind as a result from the frost overnight and early this morning.
