Thought I'd already posted this .....

Temperature currently 0.0C after overnight low of -0.4C.
The thing I am awaare of is that the last 4nights have seen the overnight low temperature to fall by about 0.5C degrees.
Does this represent the colder air penetration?

Coldest night so far this season at +0.1c. Still some ice around so I think some areas around this hilly area are colder than here. Always seems the very bottom of the bowl shaped area here is the coldest with more ice than here (well especially since I have none!).
Now 3.9c under lovely sunny skies and light winds at last.
