After a chilly Christmas (clear but below freezing at night), today I opened the windows to warm up - it was 22ºC outdoors but only 13ºC in my unheated flat!

I loved your frost photos David! Where I live we only have a frost if the sky is clear and it disappears as soon as the sun comes up.

Thank you Chloe,there's plenty more frost out there still. It is wonderful for a day or two but this cold weather is now going on for too long. It is currently -10 and has not been above -4 all day; we never get prolonged cold like this. I don't suppose that there is any point in worrying but I know that we must have lost many plants and bulbs.

It was too cold here today to work comfortably while cutting back and general tidying. I wouldn't want to be in Northants tomorrow morning

Good grief, Giles, put as many clothes on as you can.... especially socks..... can't have you end up as an ice sculpture.

That reminds me of Oxford in the winter of 1981/1982. That was damn cold! But it was fun to have no school and to go sledging on Boars Hill  :D

Are you sure you didn't drop the thermometer in your coffee before you took the reading?  ???

It's supposed to be -15oC in the north east tonight.
My car thermometer was reading -0oC  ::) at 2.00 p.m. today.
