Up until a couple of months ago, it was the brightest production flashlight in the world. It's a flooder rather than a thrower, but it still throws 380m with an incredible wall of light.

Nice! If the lighthouse breaks in a storm, we know where to come lol

Been hovering between 0.8°C and 1.2°C for the last couple of hours here so at the moment it doesn't look like reaching freezing but it's still the coldest night so far.

Spoke too soon. Sudden drop to 0.3°C. Maybe it will make it... 

[Polar Bear]

Think we are down to -2 now but very dry. After the last couple of balmy nights I’d forgooton how that north east wind bites.... bre. 

[bellanite]

That was an interesting walk back from the pub! First wintery mix of this season  now very icy as I found out! Ooch! Be careful in the morning folks.

[Mapantz]

Temp hit 0.0°C again, before going back up. The record is still on!

[matt111]

Almost reached freezing not long ago with the temperature dropping to 0.1°C but it quickly went up to 0.8°C after that.
