The below picture shows how cold it has been at nights and even how low the day time Temperatures have been.

"They must be thawed by now" i hear you say..... well, think of it when you put some meat in the fridge from the freezer, it takes more than a day at a constant 5 degrees (fridge temperature) to thaw..... The Greens don't even get that, and also get an evening of freezing conditions again to send them back into a frozen state.

Forecast from today goes from sub zero as this is typed, to a mild 10 degree high, so this will thaw out whats around fairly quickly and leave some water around.

Car park rock salted.

Geese are enjoying the frost... standing on the frozen pond!

Green's still frozen a few cm down. This stops the greens from draining and keeps the area above wet, which with traffic on them trashes the putting surfaces and shears the root system. This solid layer is moving lower and lower, so 🤞 gone soon!
