Very noticeable heat island effect in Cheltenham today.

Where I live (in the NW of the town), the max was -3C, and there is
about 1/2" of snow grains from the freezing fog. Go just 1 mile towards
the centre of town though, and the roads & paths are completely clear,
with no freezing fog...

Can the underlying geology affect this I wonder?

Sand and clay. Settlements in that part of the world, the older parts,
the builders tend to have picked the sand.

Amazingly, all four of my goldfish survived under the pond ice for a
week!
