Got down to -6.1C last night which was the lowest temp since 22nd Dec 2010 and one of the lowest I've recorded with no snow on the ground.

Was sunny all day giving 7.18 hours of sun and with the sun now much stronger and visibly higher in the sky, the temp rose to 3.8C. Coldest max this winter remains 1.4C on 18th Dec and lowest this year, 2.1C last Friday.

Despite the not particularly cold max temp has already fallen to -3.3C under the clear and calm conditions

Another very hard frost last night - suspect we saw another -6 or -7 degrees. Today temps climbed up to 1 degree, so we have yet to see an ice day this season. Can't help but think had we some snow cover, temps would have easily got down lower than -10 degrees increasing the chances of an ice day - the sun reflecting off the snow cover.

Tonight we have some cloud cover so temps are not falling as dramatically as the past two nights and I suspect they have reached there minima now at -2 degrees, but they will climb very slowly tomorrow perhaps up to 2 degrees by the evening at best. This is turning into a rather noteworthy cold spell, nothing exceptional but a decent cold spell all the same especially once we see the snow tomorrow.

How different everybody's moods are now compared to even 10 days ago with all the calls of winter is over, it was always going to be a rather late affair this year, but a very decent one all the same.
