Well there was a slight frost in Glasgow this morning and the overnight
low is forecast to be -3 today and tomorrow. In Aviemore it's forecast
to be -4 and -5, so it looks fairly certain that certain parts of
Britain at least will experience a fair bit of frost before the
winter's out.

Quite right. I was even allowing for some in my forecasts for this past
spell. I should have qualified it as long lasting frost. And even then
YMMV.

Frosts usually occur with suny weather so unless you are in a frost
pocket and the depths of winter, the chances of the pool forming more
than a little rime at the edges are not that good or bad or what ever.
I imagine a sheet or tarpaulin would keep the worst of it at bay.

The chances are that there will be a lot of wet and windy weather this
winter. In fact I think it will be just like summer only a little
darker.

Especially at night.
