Now that the cloud cover has lifted we will probably have our coldest night for the start of our winter season. the night temperature recorded was 2.4 C. In the morning at about 8 am I saw that the temperature was still hovering around 3 degrees. Winter has announced itself by displaying frost through our abode.
