Similar here but the temperature is now (0050) falling slowly and is +0..4°C with a brilliant starry sky and the wind decreased to F2. The grass, in the darkness, felt slightly crunchy and I think there'll be an air frost though not much of one. Last night the temp was a steady 0°C (min 0.0°C). The air is dry enough - it's the wind and maybe heat from the ground.
