It's always been a frost at -0.1 not at 0.0 !

Please convey this 'news' to the Open Road verification people, next
time you see them.


As the road surface temperature can be several degrees different from
the air temperature and forecasts of air and road surface temperature
cannot be made to an accuracy of one tenth of a degree, bringing
'Open Road verification' into this debate seems a bit pointless.


Ah but it does help to grind an axe :-)
