Hi all,
with potential possibly for a little snow on northern hills mid week I thought it would be interesting to see when the first frosts occur for people.

Central southern England we have a ground frost and temp currently of 0.4C local official temp -0.1C

We had to de-ice the car on Monday/Tuesday this week and there was a small sprinkling of frosty dew. We are in South Wales.

Crunchy grass at 7am here but very sunny so it didn't last two minutes. Not a proper frost exactly but getting there. That's North Devon, inland.

Fabulous Grin. Saves me being too ashamed of the lack of work I've done in the garden as most of the annuals are still going strong.

Heavy frost here this morning, no surprise though as it was really crispy cold by about 6 last night.

Heating on as soon as we got up this morning

It's minus 1 here (north oxon) and I have just scraped the car free of ice. Not looking forward to sliding all the way to preschool.

whomovedmychocolate · 21/10/2010 08:27

If it wasn't so cold I'd swear that was a snow cloud in the sky too! Shock
