Currently 1.9°C - and an ice-cream van has just come round! Minimum last
night was -2.8°C, and there's still plenty of frost and ice underfoot.

Obviously I'm keeping a very close eye on the short-range forecasts. That
trip to Bristol on Wednesday is looking uncertain at the moment!

Now down to -1.8°C and still falling very slowly, though with the cloud
on the way from the SW (some thin cloud is already making the stars look
faint) I doubt it'll get much lower than this. It was below freezing by
around nightfall.

If you're going by train David. I hope your journey is better than mine
today. Especially going from Manchester to Wolverhampton. I managed
from Manchester to Stoke-O-T. Where I would have been stuck for an hour
for a train to Wolverhampton. So I caught a train to Crewe, then from
there to Wolverhampton

Thanks, Joe; sorry to hear you had problems. Yes, I'm going by train -
and may in fact bring the trip forward to tomorrow - I haven't got to go
on Wed, and will make a snap decision tomorrow morning! Worcester-Bristol
is not the line in the UK most likely to be snowbound, but you never know!

Bottomed out at -2.1°C at about 19.30; now on the way back up really
quite rapidly, and currently -0.4°C.

It's risen further since then; +1.0°C now. Rob McElwee's latest TV
forecast gave a strong implication that the lowland Midlands might see
little or no snow tomorrow, but we'll see soon enough.
