Slightly less freezing, the snow starting to melt then turning to ice during the night. Minus 8.7C last night; I’m expecting some of the less hardy to give up in these conditions. Minus 3.5C in the greenhouse last night, which now smells strongly of frost-bitten tulbaghia. Too cold for any outdoor activity so I’m starting off this years veg and being indoors. The big freeze is due to end tomorrow so the landscape will return to its normal form.
