    95% chance here in Surrey - will be colder in the West.

    I'll be covering up my potatoes, brugs & cannas.

        The one we had a few weeks ago managed to do enough damage, but I think we're safe this time.

        Hope there isn't too much damage :)

                Forecast 6 deg at nearest town early tomorrow morning, that means it'll probably frost at my plot, been watching forecasts for a few days so delayed polytunnel tomato planting, brought them all back home this afternoon (living room is full again!) and got a paraffin heater up there. Forecast one deg lower Thur morning.

                              I don't think we'll get frost around here tonight, unless there's a dramatic change in the weather, as we've got too much cloud cover.:dunno::snork:
