Default Bracknell(Tawfield) 1800Z Thu 29th Dec

Halfway between the two of you (Stratfield Mortimer). Just been
outside, no sign of any snow here although the cloud has thickened up
in the last hour or so. Air temp -1.5°C, dew point -3.1°.

Day max today just -0.6°C. Assuming it lasts to 2100 it'll be the
first 09-21h ice day here since 20 Dec 1999 (also -0.6°C) and the
coldest day since 8 Jan 1997 (-1.6°C). Max yesterday a balmy 1.8°C
here. (Stevenson screen, open exposure.)

Last night's min 21-09h was -1.6° at 0853, but interestingly the temp
continued to fall for another 3 hours (-1.9°C at 1154).
