Zero here but by 7:30am, the water on the grass had thawed and wasn't frosty.
Mind you there was some NE cloud around.

Frosty here this morning but apparently not as severe as in town, that is in ChCh, where overnight rain had increased the frost value.

A light frost here too this morning after the overnight sleety rain cleared. If it had continued, I was expecting it to snow as it was down to 2C when I went off to bed last night.

Most places in Waipara seemed to get to -1. We had -2 in our frost forecasts for our clients initially, but revised that back to -1.5 later in the afternoon. :smile:
