RMK: Vale of Aylesbury filled with fog; fog top approx
170-180m amsl. Copious hoar ... some rime too, for
instance about 4mm on rain-gauge rim. Did notice some
patchy shallow fog drifting from the north across the
summit of the Downs after 00z last night. Lack of wind
means that it actually feels quite warm in the sun ... vis
above the fog is good and the sky is a moderately deep
blue. (Photos to follow when I have the time).

RMK: Hoar/rime have remained all day in the shade;
patchy Ci seems to haved moved in from the east
(although I haven't been watching all that carefully).
Day's max looks like being +1.0 in spite of almost
7 hrs of sunshine.
