Despite amber weather warnings from the Met Office and predictions that temperatures were to plummet to chilly depths of -6C the city only woke up to a light covering of frost on Sunday January 18.
Although the day has started off at -1C it will soon warm up, with temperatures rising to 4C by 2pm.
The forecast for the day looks mainly bright, sunny and clear with only a 40 per cent of light rain between 4pm and 6pm this evening.
Tonight most places will remain dry with clear spells allowing some patchy freezing fog to reform.
Some sleety showers will affect coastal Lincolnshire but will luckily miss Nottinghamshire.
Monday will be dry with sunny spells and light winds but the cold and frost will return after dusk and Nottingham City Council has reminded residents not to use hot water to melt ice and snow as it can re-freeze and turn to black ice which is even more dangerous.
The rest of the week will remain cold throughout with some hard overnight frosts.
A band of mostly light sleet and snow will move east late on Tuesday.
Wednesday and Thursday will see sunny intervals and wintry showers.
