There was some snow in Cornwall today, here it is in Truro.

Despite placing the tandorri pot containing hot water in the greenhouse, by morning it had dropped to 1°C.
Around 10am. The temperature exceeded 5°C after a while (with new hot water in the pot)
Snow covering my parents greenhouse. Some echiums are sheltering in the greenhouse and chilli plants, which time will tell whether they come back from winter dormancy or remain in permament dormancy.
