Another very cold and cloudy day with a biting east wind and some light snow
flurries this morning.
Max. +2.6C Min -0.3C.

But it is the low soil temperatures that I find interesting.
At 1800 UTC:

50cm +3.0C
30cm +2.7C
10cm +1.7C

No wonder nothing is growing, still waiting for my first daffodil to open
(plenty of buds) but stems have fallen over. First rhubarb shoots have been
destroyed by the cold winds and even rhododendron buds are suffering. Grass
is dormant still and looking outside it could easily be January apart from
the light. At least the snowdrops are still looking lovely but primroses are
hit and miss.
