MONDAY 28th FEBRUARY

HEADLINES @ 0900Hrs
A beautiful morning, but decidedly nippy. Last night saw the joint lowest air minimum temperature this month (-3.6 ). The ground minimum was easily the lowest of the month at -9.3 degrees. At 0900Hrs, it was completely cloudless, with just a light drift of air from the NNW. A perfect day for taking a stroll; perhaps the ground may be a little too firm, following the frost, for any digging in the garden!!

THIS EVENING & TONIGHT
