I always believe first frosts come in the 3 days either side of full
moon, so you've got away with this month next will be between 9th
and 15th of October if there is a clear sky.
Then it's 7th to 13th November, but if the last couple of years here
in South Wales are anything to go by that could be tyhe start of our
snow.
Just remember, it does help if you say where you are in the UK.
Yep, that's true. Y'see, at the time of the full moon the
gravitational forces are concentrated, and they pull away the Earth's
protective layer of water vapour, thus letting in the cold from outer
space. My shaman explained it to me.
