A very unusual situation in the back garden - the lawn is covered with puddles, and I've never seen so much standing water. There has been 17mm of rain from this system, but even so it usually drains faster than this, especially as it'd been dry for a couple of days.
I can only think that the soil just below the surface is frozen, preventing the water from draining! That's a new one on me, but given the sudden warm-up this morning it makes sense, I think.
EDIT: And having been out, poking with a cut-off cane, it seems there is indeed a frozen layer, or something, about 1 to 1.5cm down. Go through that and the water slowly drains away!
