How cold were you today?

[Peter]

Half past six this morning my car reckoned it was -5C.

[sewer rat]

We have hovered between -7 and -5 the last three mornings, with the temp never getting above +2 during the day (See my blog about how to lift leeks in this weather ) In addition, just to make things more interesting, we had freezing fog today which didn't lift all day.
Was on my second last box delivery just after 8 this evening - home of a Highland Councillor, new build, only been moved in three weeks, nice new tarmac drive - I drove up it, touched the brakes and the van just kept goingin a straight line, stopping no more than 9 inches from his nice new champagne harling

Only one night here in the last week which has been above freezing - and that was the night I hoped was clear and cold to see the sky!!!! ..Typical eh??

Ground frost never lifted of the road and lawn in the shaded areas here.

I LOVE these cold crisp sunny days!!!!


( and all the better for killing off the bugs on the lottie/garden eh???)

Had wood burning stove going now since last Friday! ....must be cold!

Close shave Rat!
Checked my max/min thermometer in the greenhouse this morning, and the Max was 2c, Min -6c.

There was a 7 car pile up on the by-pass the other morning because the gritters didn't go out til 8am...apparantly there was patches of black-ice - very lucky no-one was seriously injured.

I thought it was just my frozen hand (& feet) behaving normal when in fact it has been a freezing cold day by an average person's standard. Hands have thawed out now so easier to type.

twas jolly cold what!

[pigletwillie]

It was a mild -4 here this morning Pierre but has warmed up a bit.

[wellie]

and I've just watched a weather forecast on the telly, and they're predicting down to minus ten in parts of Scottieland by the morning? ooh bu@@er!....

[Nicos]

And do you have a cold nose Pierre lapin????

Had to take me car in for a check-up first thing this (ooops yesterday) morning. Outside temp said -5c at 8 am, -2c when I got to the garage 9 am. No loan car available so I wandered off to find a bus and it started bloody snowing. I wasn't dressed for it. Thought I'd be in a nice comfy loan car .

At home the car reckoned it was -4, then on the way to work it dropped to -6.5. This morning it hovered around a tropical 1-2 degrees.

Got back from the station last night, car said -5. Interesting amount of black ice to play with......

However, I have a frost pocket in the garden (just where the vegs are!) and the thermometer in the tunnel was reading -9 yesterday - I haven't ventured out yet today to see what is was last night. Greenhouse heater didn't cope, and it touched freezing in there too.

And we're in the (supposedly) mild south east!

[moggssue]

We had -5 8am yesterday morning as well, but when I went out to bring OH home from his office 'do' at midnight it had risen to a cosy -1 !!

Keep warm and snuggly everyone!

[piskieinboots]

no frost overnight first time in a while
soft southern me

[Nicos]

-5 for us too!

Such a pretty morning.

You should see the hordes of folks waiting for taxis at 1in the morning in central Manchester in their disco gear!!!
