First Frost of the Season in Ireland

The first ground frost of the season occurred on the night of October 6th with temperatures in Mullingar Station of 0(zero!) celcius. This is not unusual but it was quite sudden considering the rather mild nights Ireland has been having of late. Sligo has not seen frost yet and indeed last night the temperature only dipped to 7c as the Atlantic blew in some cloud that acted as a type of a blanket to keep the relatively mild air of the day in.
