A cold day here - perhaps even this very thin snow cover has had some
effect on that. Despite being sunny most of the day up until early
afternoon, the max so far has been just 0.6°C, and if that's not beaten
later then this will become the coldest day of the winter so far.

Unsurprisingly, the temperature never did beat that; in fact it never
rose back above freezing after my earlier post. It's currently -3.4°C,
and after dropping quite fast seems to have stabilised in the last hour
or so. Despite a fair amount of the dusting of snow remaining in
sheltered spots, I'd be very surprised if we got below -6.1°C, the
current lowest of this winter here.
