I keep saying this and no one takes any notice - the 0-10cm soil charts
remain stubbornly high, up to 10C

Yes but my soil has been high too (4.2C at 30cm depth last evening) and yet
the snow settled no problem and is now frozen solid (what's left of it).
Air temperature has been above freezing all night but that is down to wind
and is quite common up here. Slightly milder air came south last night and
that combined with some mixing kept air temperatures up a bit. Where the
wind dropped right out there has been an air frost. Surface fluxes are
important of course, but there were other factors at play too.
