Driving out along the A47 this morning. Lakes alongside with goodly amounts
of ice on the surface. Lakes at OS ref: TF 747 138

It must have been quite chilly in mid-Norfolk last night.

I've got my own frozen lake down here in Somerset - new extension is 3
bricks high and it's about 1cm full of water..... unfortunately not thick
enough for my ice hockey skates yet

No excuse not to get the floor level when it comes to that bit.;-)

It's actually remarkably level - quite a good barometer for the quality of
the builders!

More of a rain gauge than a barometer, by the sound of it.

Difficult to empty though!

Slightly off topic, but still some snow patches left in some areas here.

Yes, with a very low dew point, clear sky to radiate from and the sun at a
low angle the surface stays below freezing and ice also remains on ponds and
lakes. Snow patches and frost lying still in my garden with frozen soil but
an air temperature early afternoon of 5C.

It was quite chilly in rural Berkshire last night, too - the wolves' water
buckets had ice inside and the big pond in the woods was largely frozen too:

(The pond viewed from a hill - in an experiment the ice was thick enough for
1-inch stones to bounce off when thrown)

(Another view of the pond)

None of that stopped the wolves from splashing into the pond later in the
walk though and they seemed to enjoy cracking the ice on the puddles in the
woods too - then again so did quite a few of us!
