I recorded my first ground frost of the autumn this morning, with an

Or according to a BBC Weather dude this morning, the first 'grass frost'.

Is that a real term or did he jus make it up?

Our first ground frost / grass frost of the season this morning also.
Not remarkably early for this site, as I have seen a few here in past
Augusts (30.08.03 being the most recent). Never in July though.
Air minimum was +1.0ºC, so not far from being the first September air frost
since 19.9.97.
