From the BBC weather site:

Lowest -27.2°C Braemar, Grampian 10 January 1982 / 11 February 1895

Sounds chilly
Ah cheers Si - I knew I hadn't imagined it. Was just after my Mum's birthday - that's why I remember the date.
It's the coldest I've ever known round here.
There was big icebergs coming down the River Severn when it began to thaw..

Polar bears used to knock on the door and ask if they could have a quick warm by the fire.......

-9.5 in Shinfield yesterday morning.

Tried to down my window after de-icing it. The window stayed there and the runner shot down. What a joy!!!

-8.5 last Tuesday. Got me thinking back to when we was kids and on frosty mornings the condensation on the single glazed windows used to freeze
