I hope you got on ok at the doctors Buster. -2c here now it’s got dark. Supposed to be clear until around midnight before becoming cloudy and the temperatures start to rise. Should be around 0c by morning.

Another minus day here hopefully last of it today

-1c here first thing. Frosty again, although a lot hasn’t cleared for the past week or so. Could reach the dizzy heights of +6c today before dropping back to freezing tonight. Tomorrow supposed to be in double figures

. Don’t think I’ll be doing much outside though as due to have heavy rain.

It did get up to 6c here, but not all good. We had some drizzle, which because the ground was so cold it froze. The frost did disappear but now down to 1c. If it freezes the roads will be lethal.
My main pond hasn’t frozen at all but I have kept all the air stones going and the pumps and filters running so the water has been constantly moving. The small wildlife pond has frozen with a good couple of inches of ice. Roxanna has been breaking a hole in it so the wild birds can drink. Hopefully yours will thaw out in the next couple of days.
