    A bit of cloud crept across around 3pm ish, but overall not a bad day. Frost remains in the areas that didn't see direct Sun today.

    Was hoping for the other half of a Hawaii to make a Full Hawaii but only came in with 2.43 O's today!

    Not sure what the next 2 days will bring, but could well do with a whole month of this. Even if it is cold.
