It's not powdery here.

The snow is all rock solid and crunchy.

I can't even open the wheely bin as it's frozen shut.

-3°C now.

That is a shame, the air was colder up north though I guess.

Anyway, I had a -8C when I left north of Stoke this morning (quite close to rural fields), and the temp was bouncing around in the car down the M6, in freezing fog it was -7C and then it would rise to -3C.

Sorry guys it is too early for me...   !!!

My min is -7.8C.        I had read the DP which is -10.2C.

 I thought it was a bit low.

Birmingham Airport is showing -6.0C, and a DP of -6.0C with relative humidity of 100% -so fog could be an issue there today.

If you're disappointed with your cold temperatures it could be worse you could be here in Wirral where it is currently 0.4C after a minimum of 0.2C ?

Snowy..

Shobden (just by Hereford) has dropped further to -13.0C in the last couple of hours.

Pershore is still -11C, and Hereford is -10 currently 

Certainly the coldest part of the UK.:cold::cold::cold:

Penetrating frost last night. Car thermometer dropped to -12 this morning just after dawn... by no means accurate but not far off as nearby Shawbury recorded -12.4

Light fog/mist over deep snow fields with sun trying to break through

Van is defrosted and about to head out to work, I don't hold out much hope as still -5.9 here so I think maybe 5mins of work before my whole water system freezes up.
