Yes - it was clear, white and cool here!! A new alltimerecord today and it will get broken HAHA! Records only since early May and then lost data with no Wx during mid to end May. All good now
PS - I have yet to edit out those bad high windspeed readings - loose cable problems at the time...
Notice -5.1 was windchill temp... actual min recorded at home was -2.6degC
The video cam will show the morning shots - am trying to slow the WU video down, I think Speed=100 may be a better setting, too fast to really see anything...
I smiled this morning - kids getting ready to bike 3kms to schools and I usually bike 10kms to work but have Engineering Call-Out car at the moment so I gave my two pairs of gloves out to first up this morning

Coldest we got to in Omarama was -8.6 °C at 08:38 this morning.TokWW wrote:-4.5ºC min at home but Arthur had down to -6.5ºC in a sheltered area.

The coldest so far this winter was a relatively mild -10.4 °C at 08:24 on 22 June.
All-in-all a very unmemorable winter so far.
It reminds me of 2004 and 2005 when we essentially got no winter, just kind of slid from autumn into spring.

Not particularly. It was barely 6" in total in most inhabited places. Aside from the sad death of the student in Wanaka, not much happened. And almost all of that snow has been gone for days.Manukau heads observer wrote:and so the snow that otago and inland southland got was not memorable?All-in-all a very unmemorable winter so far.
