Today's maximum was just 6.0°C making it the coldest day since the 3rd
of February 2015 (5.8°C). The entire winter of 2015/16 didn't produce a
high maximum as low as today's.

There also occurred a very rare event today, freezing fog! Though it
didn't last long and the temperature soon climbed above freezing but it
was only the 2nd time in 10 years I have seen it. The fog gradually
disappeared and 4 hours of 'not that warm' sunshine occurred from late
morning until mid-afternoon.

Another very cold night is upon us. The Devonshire folk around 'ere are
struggling with this Arctic weather...... Wood burner blazing away but
eating into my winter stash already. And to think, my lowest maximum for
December last year was 11.2°C.
