Default Finally some frost

Looks like we are in for a spell of cold weather with bits of snow
scattered about.

Perhaps this will slow down the early sprouting/blossoming and perform a
bit of winter hygiene.

It might stop the damn grass growing for a while, as well.

At least we are getting some nice sunny spells.

Cheers

Same here in the lower area of North Midlands, though sadly it is due to
end tonight with heavy rain.

We've yet to see a sub-zero temperature here this winter. Last night
on the coast about 3C but no ground frost, and a little colder further
inland. A very slight breeze probably kept the GF away.


Not surprisingly, that is entirely different in Cambridge, though
we have not yet had a hard frost. Last night was c. -5, with hoar
frost still present at 10 am.

I found myself driving into Cambridge yesterday with snow on the car.
None in the city, so it must have looked odd. (We're 400ft up)
