Minimum of -8.4 here on the ridge. The coldest night for 25 years
since -10 was recorded on 3 nights in February 1986

I read that as 'Effing coldest night for 25 years'

LOL

It's great stuff isn't it?
Amazing conditions at present in the home counties, takes me back years!
Meanwhile Altnaharra (that favourite cold spot loved by the tabloids)
continues to bask in mild.

Yes, Scotland & Northern Ireland seem to have been barely
affected by this cold spell.
Temperatures approaching -15C are pretty rare in open country,
outside of the 'usual suspect' frost hollow locations.
For once the screaming '-15 degrees!' Daily Mail type headlines
are about right.
