-6.6 here, reading taken from the Lincoln Library site - I think we're probably a little lower being rural. I have not seen one so heavy in the 3 years we've been here, we have an amazing amount of ice INSIDE the windows of the kitchen & bathroom (unfortunately both uninsulated because they are in the lean-to on the back of the house). Pipes are frozen too. Brrrrrrrr. Beautiful day though. Makes it all worth while

-1.9Â°C here. Which doesn't sound low but for where I am that's the coldest I ever had.

And I have no water... frozen pipe outside

-6.4Â°C on my station - the lowest it's recorded since I installed it in Jan 2002. Previous record was -4.9Â°C.

Curtains are still frozen to the bottom of the big windows in the living room

Lowest min this morning was -8.1Â°c, beaut day, blue dome with plenty of snow sparkling on the mountains.

It would have -10Â° to -15Â° up the valley

My weather station at Lake Ohau reported -9.5 Â°C at 06:59, which is the low for that station this year.

The low reported by my station in Omarama was -8.5 Â°C at 08:41 and the lowest recorded so far this year was -10.4 Â°C at 08:24 on June 22nd.

It's been a relatively mild year compared to last June when we got down to -14 Â°C-ish.

A big white frost near Akaroa this morning, but a cloudless day with snow still lying on the hilltops.

And another big frost coming tonight, -5 predicted in ChCh. Now that will make life interesting if the "few coastal showers" arrive in the morning...

Storm Struck · Unread post by **Storm Struck** » Sun 08/07/2007 18:11

Sure was cold this morning indeed and will be again overnight too.
I would say its about -2C out there already and going for a simular frost to this mornings, ohh how lovly to start the working week

.
Yes a week of anticylonic gloom ahead with a few days of light drizzly dizmal, however there could be something around the corner in the following week. But it is certainly not time to start getting excited about that just yet.
No matter how good or bad, bleak or sunny there will always be weather.
Cheers

0.3 degrees at the moment, clear skies, most of our backyard is still frozen from this morning. they are predicting it should get to -2?C but i think it will get lower than that.

TokWW · Unread post by **TokWW** » Sun 08/07/2007 18:31

Only -1.9ÂºC here this morning but it was -2.6ÂºC on 18 June. Will get better
