I noticed on xcweather about half-an-hour ago a report from Wattisham of
'heavy freezing unknown precipitation' with a temperature of PS01 and
dewpoint of zero. How come?


Maybe it has a ground temp sensor that is reading 0C ?


Could be, I suppose. I've heard many forecasts of freezing rain with air
temperatures (and wet-bulbs) above freezing when the ground is frozen
but I've never seen it happen.


Light rain here for the last 20 minutes and the temp had stayed below zero.
Ground is still frozen from last night so it'll be freezing on contact.
