This is a thread for lowest temperatures this morning.

The minimum of -22.3�C at Altnaharra (Sutherland) just beats
the -21.7�C at Kinbrace (also Sutherland) on the morning of
3 March 2001, and, barring faulty memory syndrome, is therefore
the lowest since the -27.2�C at Altnaharra on 30 December 1995.

-6.6C Lundie, NW Dundee, round about 8.50 am this morning.

It often seems to stick around there here. Some cloud and a breeze
spoiled play here.

Here in the Kyle the minimum was -15.1C. Neighbours just up the road
reported from an outside sensor (of dubious accuracy) a minimum of -17C at

-9C here in suburban Coleraine and a bit lower than I was expecting. My
old university site would have gone below -10 had any instruments been
there still.

I'd be extremely sceptical for a whole raft of reasons.
Presumably the thermometer/sensor was unscreened,
and I'd ask straight away how close to the snow-surface
it was.

-8.4C in Bolton.
This had been acheived by 11pm and fell no further.
By 7am it was -4.6C.
Like you, there was wind. Not much but discernable.

Rather different to the -10C and below down in Cheshire.

-13.4 deg C

Here in Birchwood, Warrington.

http://www.weatherlink.com/user/markjohn/

It was already minus 8 on the drive home from work at 6:00pm so I thought I
was in for a record, which it was beating the previous evenings -12C,
fog/cloud. But the way it was dropping rapidly I was hoping for much lower.
Thankfully it didn't, my frozen pipes (internal and lagged but in the
garage) didn't burst !.

-11.3�C here which I was highly suspicious of once again but given your data
it might not be too far wide of the mark.

Sorry for the late post to this thread. My router went
kaput on Monday and I've just received its replacment.

My min temp was -5.6C on the date quoted above, so
not very exciting in the general scheme of things.
