Am going to try and upload a picture of frost (Tinkling Bell, I really enjoyed your mistake, was worried about your frozen pants)
This is frost on flax; a plant I enjoy hugely in the summer with it's brilliant blue flowers, and now with the frost it is such a fine tracery of skinny stems against the little conifer, I love it. So as you can see it is a bit frosty in the Fens
Another frosty but dull day in WManchester. Below freezing again first light. Been out & about, sometimes sun (!) & others quite misty. No real fog here though. Only about1-2C out there even now. J.
Was -4C again out the back this morning. Now brilliant sunshine, which hasnt yet reached the sensor, still below freezing!
One of my Morrisons flower buckets has split! I grow my mint in it & never thought to wrap it, but of course the plastic isnt very thick & will have started to perish. Have just tucked it back against the house wall for now.
Have deiced the gate lock, added WD40 & left it open for a bit. Then I could get fresh water & ground food out for the birds. J.
When I was out with the dog last thing last night it was -3.8c then through the night the freezing fog rolled in and dropped to -4.5c then when I got up this morning it dropped to -5.4c and even now it's only -3.2c so not above freezing for 24 hours ho hum. oh and the freezing for is back.
The frost got frostier, the fog got foggier, the cold got colder and the idiot drivers on the supermarket car park got more idiotic, they were fighting over the parks closest to the doors when 20 yards away dozens of empty places. It will not be a good night in Stockton then.

Stockton has heavy frost with a mist, freezing when I put the bins out, it is trying to brighten up so the sun is up there somewhere.
