Great Dun Fell (847m) is reporting temps around 9C.

Howhill (421m) is not far short of -2C.

11C in 426m (1400') seems quite steep...

The Nottingham sounding for midnight gives +10.8 at 828 metres and
Albermarle gives +10 for the nearest equivalent height. So your
figures at height tie in exactly. I can hardly see how you could have
got the numbers wrong lower down (presumably actually measured), so yes
- a most impressive inversion.

My height taken from the OS map spot height just along the more or less
(+/- 5m) level road and the temp from my AWS.

To early for the Terra/Aqua MODIS pass images yet but a glorious bright
crisp sunny morning here. Heavy frost visible down in the vally not quite
so much up here.

Hi, Dave,
Inversion has had its day down here unfortunately and we have now
joined in with the Vale of York. In other words it's awful!

Stayed a brilliant clear and sunny day up here.

Max 8.6C (1200) Min -1.4 (2031). No wind to speak of until 1800 when an
F2 SE'll sprung up, since then the temp has been a bit wandery. It
dropped to that low then shot up to 2C between 2030 and 2100 but it's now
back below freezing. At around 1800 to 1900 it was a lovely clear starlit
night to welcome Santa to the Market Cross in Alston. Nice cresent moon
with earthshine as well.

During the day I could see fog lying further down the South Tyne valley
towards Slaggyford and the fire smoke was hanging low over Garrigill this
morning.
