The air temperature has been falling fairly steadily since mid-
afternoon, and by 2100 the screen was already down at -8.7°C, with the
grass min exposed on the snow surface reading -14°C.

The mind boggles as to how cold it will be by 0800 (which I guess will
be the coldest time of the 'night', just before sunrise, assuming the
weather doesn't change overnight). -4C by car thermometer even in the
Winchester area at around 2245. (Thin lying snow and very icy in
Winchester btw)
