    Frost again this morning, -0.4 degrees, that's 3 frosts in the last 4 mornings now, still nothing harsh that's lasted beyond the first rays of sun though :)

    Just on the roofs still here. Mind you, in the car park on the other side of the roads the cars need defrosting.

    Can't quite comply with your instructions. :sad:

    Our first frost was at 7 p.m. on Wed 6th Nov (had to scrape the car screen before going out). By 11.30, when I had to come home, there was no frost on the car and nothing on the ground or roofs at 5.30 a.m. on the Thursday.

    Next frost, Sunday 10th.

    We've had our first frost today, well more than that, we've had our first snow! Early for the island which doesn't bode well for the winter months.

    Lowest temp up to now 2C, so only ground frost, but tonight looks different, could be below zero the way things are going.
