Best since I moved to this suburb. Temp not as low up here on the hill but I still have frost on the shaded lawn when I got home after work. Went for a run at lunch time, dodgey footpaths :shock:
There is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes.

Dunedin must've had a pretty big frost this morning to cause a bay in Otago Harbour to freeze over, as was shown on TV1 tonight.

While once again qualifying the following by stating that I believe weather prediction to be extremely difficult, and I'm glad it's not my job, the MetService have struck out far more often than they've hit home runs recently.

I take the weather as it comes. ;)

Drizzly fog this morning - not sure if it was actually falling, but biking through it felt quite wet...

I see Dargaville was sitting on 3c at 9am...

Looking good for the big game tomorrow, humid but calm conditions expected :D

Yes gary, i'd take the weather as it comes... Sunny northeasterlies are set to bring some warmer weather to the deep south. ;)

Some good snow cover for the 3 mountains on the plateau, Tongariro has sparse snow cover but dense in some parts...
Ruapehu and Ngaruahoe are both very white.

30cm base at Turoa, opening tomorrow and Whakapapa next week ;)
