Default Sharp frost last night (-4.4C)

Yes - I was quite surprised to see -2.5C here at 6.48 am. The benefit
is the sunshine now of course ;-)

Looks like it might have been sufficient here to sear many of the flower buds on my Wisteria, which would be the first time that has happened since I planted it about 6 years ago. That's not to say it's the worst mid-Spring frost ("worst" for here, that is) we've had in that time. The recent unseasonably warm spell may have brought some of the plants on too quickly for their own good.

It's a little soon to tell but I hope not, as the quantity of flower buds meant it was going to be absolutely wonderful this year.
