Default [WR] S.Essex - First decent frost of the winter

At -3.9C may well turn out to be the coldest night of the winter. I
noticed that for the last 4 years the lowest minimum has occurred around
this middle week of January.

-5C in Wanstead (-7.5C grass min) coldest last year was -5.5C. Riding back last night I found that Forest Gate, the other side of the Flats was 2C warmer. It has just risen above freezing here.

Any thoughts on the temp at Gravesend last night? Benson was coldest at -8.2C

-4.5°C here. Yes, probably the coldest of the winter except possibly for tonight.

temp at -2.4C.

Given that 20th Jan is allegedly midwinter's day in England and Wales (apparently it's 27th Jan in Scotland) then it seems fair for it to start with the coldest morning of winter!

When I went to get my paper this morning at about 8am, the newsagent
said that it was -6C here in Cranleigh. I don't know how he knew, but it
certainly was a plausible figure, especially as Charlwood - 10 miles
east of here - recorded -6. It felt a good deal colder even than
yesterday morning's hard frost.

The milkman delivered my milk very early this morning. (I'm one of the
few who still have their milk delivered.) I brought it indoors at about
7:45. When I went to pour it into a jug at about 3:30pm, I had some
difficulty in doing so. I discovered that there was a small piece of
soft ice partly plugging the neck of the bottle, something I haven't
seen for many a long year. (My previous milkman used to deliver the milk
at about 11am, which may have been a factor in that, as may be the fact
that I recently switched from full fat to 1% fat milk.)

The minimum here was -5.3°C. The fall in temperature was smooth throughout indicating no cloud.
I also get my milk delivered but the full cream version. Do you get your thin stuff from the well-known Welsh dairy run by Dai Lute the Milk?
