This November I only had two 5 minute logs (10 minutes) of 0.0°C, is this classed as an air frost or should it be -0.1°C?

My thinking is not, so no air frost reported for me for the whole month.

Yes, air frost is <0C so not an air frost. I had the same thing in Winter 2013/14 when my lowest temperature was exactly 0.0 - so a frost-free winter (unlike the previous one!)
