Default Why so mild here?

Having had a week of not so bitter weather with temps around 5C I was expecting it to be colder today. So why, with 850 hPa indicating -8C here, sub 528 dam, is it 6C and raining in the showers?

That is certainly possible with a dry adiabatic lapse rate and/or instability at the surface.
