it's been pretty brisk down here today but not snow just yet.

I did have my first squirm of the back end whilst overtaking of the season today, though. Be careful out there...

I came out to a completely frozen car on Sunday morning in North Yorkshire - no surprise you've seen snow further north.

Haven't seen any frost here on the coast. It's a gorgeous crisp autumn day today with the sun shining. Fingers crossed I can get a flyer tonight and get the top down

I was surprised monday morning going out to the car at 0800 to find it was only 2 degC. My colleague who worked through the nightshift said it got down to zero, which is pretty cold for October in Sussex, I've a feeling Fontal is correct.. it might be another bad winter
