Default First Frost Date

OK, it's great fun to mock the Met Office, but their forecasts for
tomorrow are usually pretty good. They are certainly one of the things
that cavers check before heading underground (along with records of
recent rainfall, and indications of soil wetness and local water
levels). Caving in active stream systems such as those in the Yorkshire
Dales would be a good deal less safe if it weren't for the met Office.



Be interesting to see if this sudden heatwave arrives. With forecasts of
up to 83 degrees in the middle of the week then onward to frost and
snow, poor plants won't know what's hit them.
