You have a real frost hollow there Scott,despite clear skies all night

Sounds like you were above the temperature inversion, Ron. The
cold air was very shallow. Look at reports for Stansted for a
similar effect. There was some cloud around too, which would have
a large effect on outgoing radiation.
