Certaintly looked like the coldest night of the 'winter' for many places. So here is a league table (montain sites are not included)
1) Resdale camp (northumberland 212m): -6.6C
2) Eskdalemuir (Cumbria 242m): -5.3C
3) Aviemore (E highlands 228m): -5.1C
3) Topcliffe (Yorkshire 87m): -5.1C
5) Leeming (Yorkshire 32m): -4.8C
5) Strathallan (Tayside 35m): -4.8C
7) Loch Glascarnoch (W highlands 264m): -4.7C
8) Dishforth (Yorkshire 36m): -4.4C
9) Benson (SE england 57m): -4.2C
Yorkshire was suprisingly cold, the vale of york perhaps the UKs pole of cold last night away from the unsuprising frost hollows of resdale and the infamous eskdalemuir. Apart from this temperatures dropped sub zero pretty much everywhere excepting: SE coast England, much of W devon and cornwall, W coast of wales, W coast of scotland, NE coast of scotland, N coast of scotland, and large parts of N ireland. Inland though, temperatures of -2C or -3C were the norm.
Also Ice day watch for the vale of york and central scotland, if the fog doesnt clear. Still -3C in dishforth. Now, does anyone know how unusual a late march night is, that eclipses the whole of dec-feb?
