Bright and sunny morning. Heavy hoar frost deposit last night, still
persisting in the shade. Thought at first we had had some slight SN
overnight. Frost thickest on roads and pavements..less on roofs.
Something rather unusual about it. Tmin prob about PS 02C.

Yes it was rather strange this morning. No frost at Knaresborough, but I
noticed from York eastwards, as you say, a heavy hoar frost on hard
surfaces, but fields & vegetation appeared clear. I think is was a case
solid ground still being cold from over the weekend.
Lethal when I got to work at Scarborough, frozen sheets of slush
everywhere - smooth too as there was obviously no traffic until this
morning in works car parks etc. Part of the factory yard was still like
that when I left this evening.
