Report your Frost, or (how low did you go 2009)

[Philip Duncan]

4.5 degrees in west Auckland with showers about to move in...could almost be snow!

Million miles from snow.

Wow, I wasn't actually serious.

[jamie]

only got to -1.7 here with the wind picking up during the night and the temp lifting up to close to 2 during alot of the night.

[Nev]

Yes -5°C at Taupo this morn. In the Sth, -4°C at Queenstown, Wanaka and Timaru Aero.
Interesting the 6° dif. between Dunedin Aero (-1°C) and the Peninsula.

Dipped to 1.7°C here just before 1am, but about 4°C most of the morn (shower-band passed through around 3am) - down to 3°C now.

[David]

Here the low was 2.7° at 12:30am, so no frost at any time of the night, but tonight could be a frosty one...

[Tornado Tim]

Down to -2.5°C this morning. Cloud must have come over sometime as the temperature rose to around 0 degrees.
Could have had little freezing rain last night as a a shower past through.

i would suspect that the depth of below freezing air would not be enough?

[jamie]

have been able to see mt ruapehu in all its glory for most of the day. i love the visible seeing distance in this cold clear weather.

Frost this morning got down to -3 degrees. Temp at 310pm was 10.7 degrees and now it is 6.2 and dropping quickly. Not a breathe of wind not even 1km/h dead still and not a cloud in the sky. The funny thing was last night and this morning had some high cloud in some areas, not much but that would have stopped the potential 'coldness' that could of occurred. Tonight should be even colder than the -3. I reckon maybe -4 or -5 for Christchurch. I sense something EXTREMELY COLD!

Bugger all of a frost here this morning although it was white an crunchy underfoot on the grass.

-4.3 here this morning.
-0.6 already tonight.

[Lawrence]

Just reached 0.0 C here.

[mikestormchaser]

currently hit 0.2C in my part of town. yeh i reakon shes going to be a boomer tonight, my guess would be -4

[jamie]

sitting on 0 atm with the wind at about 7km/h so as soon as the wind drops off completely the temp should drop very quickly. If it does drop off ill put my money down for a new station record but i cant see the wind dropping off enough so im thinking only like -3.5 tonight.

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Did drop below zero around 7pm but now, sadly, it's up to 1.6C.

Maybe won't be a frost here again, as clouds are moving in from the west.
Will have to wait until the anticyclone comes right over to get the true clear weather I am thinking

[JP.]

Dammm its cold in chch tonight. Was out at 7pm and the grass was already white. Could easily be -4 or -5 tonight. Brrrrr

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Up to 1.8C now

Yeah its certainly frosty out there and has been since early this evening.
John certainly has a very different temp, just been outside and the ice on the roof of the car is rock solid!
-0.3 at Jeffs.

[Tornado Tim]

Down to -4.6°C here. Freezing!
Update: Frost on trees even several meters from the ground.

[DT-NZ]

Currently 6.1°C out - min overnight temp 3.6°C here in bay, and from my junior weather reporter's in Hukerenui as they sit around the breakfast table eating their hearty bowl of porridge this morning it is 0.0°C out - the min overnight temp dipped to -1.4°C great kids you did very well.

[David]

Got down to 0.2°C here in the end, so there is a light frost after all

[Tornado Tim]

Here are some frost pics with the nice ice crystals on my weather station:

[Razor]
