Watch out  for a cold one tonight, here in Scotland it might get down to 0. got my fleece ready!

[Y.E.A.H]

eek that's cold 

[fletch]

Forecast 0C here too  , double fleece for the seedlings in the greenhouse methinks. At least it warms up fairly quickly during the day now.

[UrbanG]

Acording to the news on telly we (Derbyshire) will be going down to -1 tonight!!

But the met office web site says a min of +2 degrees at 4am?

I will be fleesing up when I get home just in case though.

The peans and beans at the plot will have to take their chances as I forgot to take the fleece with me when I planted  out the golden mangetout and the dwarf peas last night and I can't get up there till the weekend. They have all been been out side for the last few weeks anyway so hope they have toughned up. Think I'd better get a few more sown just in case.

[savbo]

Metcheck is showing -2 tonight and -3 tomorrow for manchester...

After putting the car away I realised how cold it was and ended up "earthing up" my spuds in pots last night by head torch. There did not seem to be a ground frost but it felt like it could last night.

Just for you Bigben since you live in Sheffield here is a great website with Sheffield's weather statistics past and present (won't tell you if there is going to be a frost tonight but will tell you whether we have had one recently; just click on "temp" below the thermometer and it will take you to a variety of graphs showing max and min temperatures for a range of time periods. Lots of other stuff too like humidity (blight) soil temperature and so on!)

Another tip; a hoe or rake is much better for earthing up spuds than a head-torch!!   

[stentman]

Yep even tropical telford is forecast for a chilly -1 tonight. 

[monsta]

down to 3șc here in bedlington must be that where next to the sea
