Am I in trouble?

In a roundabout way I think I am.

I walked the dogs this morning at about 0515 and was surprised at how mild it was. Didn't do my coat up and the grass was green and soft. And the car was not frozen over.

So when Mrs DD asked, prior to getting dressed, 'What's the weather like?' I replied truthfully that it was quite mild.

Imagine my surprise, and no doubt Mrs DD's shock when, within a short time of my leaving home the temperature had dropped to -5!

Woops.

And this is a lone bird walking on the ice on a small pool in Hemel Hempstead this afternoon. So it had not got warmer through the day.
