I've had a very interesting weather day to-day. Woke up to a very heavy frost. Left Telford for Walsall with a thermostat reading 1.5 degrees it gradually warmed to 2.5, then i drove through freezing fog temp. fell -minus 2. On the return journey the low bright sun was blinding but the temperature did rise.
brrrr! It's been incredibly cold here today too... no thermostat readings but plenty of fog all day, and very chilly despite the sun! Thanks for listening!
