[WR] Otter Valley, Devon - Really, really cold....

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.
.......and here's me thinking that our max of 6.7C today was pretty mild :-)
