Re: Frosts 2014
Coldest morning of the year with -2.5°C. Had a few cold ones before this morning as well, but we were in Christchurch where it was even colder.
Was very chilly doing the marathon in -2°C on Sunday morning!

Icy driving to work along Newtons Road but getting closer to ChCh, noticed the frosting wasn't all that bad.

Not an air frost but the rain at 5am froze all over the cars. So very thick ice balls on the car. Not often we get that.
