Yesterday was the first November ice day here for 15 years, the last being
on 24th November, 1993. With a maximum of just -1.5ºC a new site record was
created.
It's also likely to have been the coldest November day since late 1985 in
this area.
The minimum of -5.2ºC wasn't as spectacular.

The day was dominted by a blanket of freezing fog, from which I witnessed a
brief ice needle fall around 6pm yesterday evening. Nowhere near as
spectacular as the same phenomenon last December here, but still beautiful
to see again.

As a small aside, ice days here in November tend to co-incide with notably
cold Winters. I wouldn't mind this fortune cookie being repeated.
