I have just been down to the local feed merchant and someone working there
tells me that -4 is forecast for this area tonight. Certainly, the sky is
very clear and the temperature has dropped like a stone.

Left my sons tonight at Coven, Stafforshire near wolverhampton just before
20-00hrs and ice had formed on top of cars, sky clear, no wind, low mist
over common especially near the canal., just the sort of weather to destroy
tender plants. And to find weak car batteries in the morning. NOW what
happened to that global warming we were on about the other day ?

I know you actually know this, but let's emphasise that global
warming doesn't mean Britain is going to turn into Tunisia. AIUI, if
the system gets screwed up, these islands could get like
Scandiwegia -- as the original design specified, until God thought of
this nifty Gulf-Stream practical joke.

-2.5C here already and some snow this morning:

http://www.howhill.com/weather/view....2005&m=11&d=16

Still it's been a very mild October and November. Tonight will only be
third air frost this end of the year. We have normally had at least
one proper, as in settling and a cm or two for a few hours, fall of
snow by now as well.

32.5F as I write, here in Cheshire.
Hasn't Martin gone quiet - perhaps one of the lumps of ice has proved

Well, I don't know what it went down to last night but it's quite a white
morning here, just looking out of the window at 7am!

White from frost here as as well. Over night air temperature low of
-5C. I must try and rig up a grass thermometer.

Ray has just told me that it went to -3 here which is low for this time of
year, certainly.

Our first frost of the year here - and no doubt about it. The ponds are
frozen.

I cut down and dug up the roots of my runners this afternoon and brought
them in - must get some sand...

All the potted pelargoniums (pelargonia?) and fuschias have been brought
in to the - well, what the (realistic) estate agent called a porch, but
the previous inhabitant's son (who built it) called a conservatory.

http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/porch001.jpg

The porchatory was put on before next-door built behind it the extension
to their cottage, which releases, when I get the right-shaped tuits,
some useful glass which is not so quite useful where it is now. (Though
it makes a fine draught-excluder.)

Also brought in are the lemon trees, two in the con - er - porch, one in
the front room window, one in the study window and one in the attic room
window. The chilli plants are in too, to keep them from the chill, and
the avocado - but in the not too distant future that will have to take
its chance outside. The date palm has not performed well this year, and
it's one remaining leaf remains the same size as when I put it out in
the spring. The self-sown violas in the pot have done well, though.

Hi Sacha

http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/

One of the best sites I know to look at the past weather. After using the
drop down menu to look at minimum temperature (say) then use the menus on
the right to sel;ect min imujm temperature and large map. If you use a pop
up blocker hold down the control key. You get an excellent map of minimum
temps for the whole of Britain. (similalry for max temps, max gust etc etc)

First frost in Plymouth, the nasturtiums bought it last night.
Mind you, I am at 200 feet so it's possible some areas nearer the Sound
escaped.

Andy.

Very well thanks. The Paulownia you gave me is performing well, and the many
Paulownia seeds you gave me germinated well, so quite a few to sell next
year!

best wishes to ray.
