One tells me 1 degree the other 5

[DD.]

They are consistently inconsistent!

[Poolman]

Blinking weather!

[Yorkie]

Just been down to earth up the spuds and put fleece over them too.

Met Office = no colder than 5C.
Metcheck = -1C.

I suspect the Met Office will be more accurate but you just don't dare take the risk.

[Goldfinger]

Thanks for the warning!

Just got in from being down there, and this thread pops up!

Sorry, but I ain't going back down now. My (outside) spuds will take thier chance tonight.    

[Mum2mj]

Thanks for the heads up, I too am getting -1 on metcheck & 5 on met office so err on side of caution, went outside (no allotment unfortunately) and covered my spuds and fleeced my seedlings in the unheated greenhouse, they've only been in there since the weekend so I hope they survive!

Metcheck always shows lower temperatures, than actually happen here, but I think it's better to be safe than sorry.

Parafin heater in the glasshouse and 2 candles lit in the polycarb as it looks to be a cold'un

now I've learned to subtract 2 degrees from whatever the met office says for the nearest town here at night  (which is fair enough given we're a few miles away and at a different altitude etc) .... So, am anticipating 0-ish based on what they say, but we will get what we get.  It's a clear sky for sure - still light /dusk.

Hi mrs ball, I too put my toms out over the weekend, they had outgrown their pots and I don't have a greenhouse! Typical there's a threat of frost quite so soon after.... One shall see how they fair, if not too well I hope to have time to replant! Good luck with yours!

[GingerSi]

I best go out and get the sheets out

[allot2learn]

White frost on top of the car here in Manchester this morning.

[DD.]

Ditto here, but very slight. Made a brief visit to the plot & spuds seem OK. There's to many too cover.

[Bing]

plastic pots & plastic buckets with stone on top. bubble wraps coca cola bottle...all used last night to cover beans plants. will have to remove them tonight after work.

there is no frost this morning!

they will look silly today

[yorkiegal]

same here. got everything covered up and we've had no frost and none of the rain turned up either.

[JayG]

Nowhere near an air frost last night (4C) and quite breezy all night long so little chance of a ground frost either, at least in fairly high up suburban Sheffield.

A less "certain" frost warning is also being made for tonight, which of course is exactly the sort of situation that catches people out!
