Author V. cold here tonight

It was -3C at 9.30pm and the frost from last night hasn't cleared parts of
the garden all day. Nor has the ice left any of the ponds.

Same here in west midlands, although there was little snow here yesterday it
has remained on ground. In places going down to -8c tonight.
Had to run pumps in my ponds for a while as the ice stayed put.

And there was I thinking that it wasn't as cold as all that because
there was no ice on the canal. (Plenty of ice on ponds, and frost on
shaded bits of ground, and for that matter north-facing roofs.)

Well my new digital thermometer Christmas present says it's 25C outside and
43 inside.
Using pine cones and other more reliable technology it's about 0.5C outside
in this part of W Yorks. Bits of snow etc but nowlt to worry about.

I don't even want to think about that! I haven't been outside yet to look
at the thermometer but when I opened the door for the dogs this morning, I
just about perished on the spot! The two Jack Russells took off in their
usual "whoopee look out rabbits" fashion and the dachshund sensibly returned
to base as fast as his little legs would carry him back to the Aga!

Minima of -1.5C on Tuesday night, -2C last night, but no snow. Today
+5C, half an inch of rain and very windy, west Cornwall.

It was -10C here in North Yorks at 10am this morning in the fog and it
didn't go above -5C for most of the day. More annoying still NEDL
dropped us from mains power due to a wide area HT fault for most of it.

I suspect some of my tender plants are history.

Ugh. That does sound bad news. I hope your prediction is pessimistic.
