Minus 6.5°C in the greenhouse last night. Can't recall it ever going that low before.
This morning whilst out in the car I had to open my window to see properly when pulling out of the supermarket space. When I hit the button to close the window again it wouldn't budge. Ended up at the Toyota garage where they told me the 'regulator' had broken in the frozen conditions and I now have a bill of £530 to face when I take it in next week. The drive home 6 miles to our village was piggin' freezing. Luckily I can put it in the garage and we have another car to use.
Clay soil - Cheshire/Derbyshire border. I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful
-5.6° when I got up, coldest through night was -6.5° I was on bird duty and it was difficult walking up from one of the feeding stations in the snowy frosty frozen grass.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
-7 degrees C. This is the lowest since living here in Wiltshire. We had -8 in Maidenhead in 2009.
I have to fill the bird bath 3x a day with boiling water. Looks like all surrounding birds wait until the water cools down and have then a bath. My street cat gets twice a day a hot water bottle in his house.
Cornwall. Warmer today. It began raining during the night and is still peeing down. The surface ice and snow are gone but the ground underneath is still very hard.

I ♥ my garden.
I'm very fed up with it.
