Seeing it really seems like winter is with us, I thought it is as good as time as any to start reporting how low the temperature gets and any nice frosty pictures from around New Zealand we may want to share.

Good idea!
well theres ice on the cars and the grass is beginning to ice over. temp plummeting atm. since ive got nothing to do i might brave to cold morn and take some icy snaps

-3.0 and still dropping!

-3.8 and dropping very quickly as the sun is just about to rise. Should get -4

Made it down to -0.2°C here just a few minutes ago, very cold indeed.
I see metservice has 0 forecast for Auckland tomorrow night, don't see that often

Nice solid frost here this morning with obligatory icy car(s).

Temp currently 1.8C in Grey Lynn, no ground frost but some ice on cars out on the street.

Harihari -6
St Arnaud -8

Frost Pic here from Matangi:

Nothing special about this frost. bottomed out at -3.8 here. Tomorrow should be colder and for much longer. ie the temp will dip below 0 very early i think, compared to last night. So should be a cracker frost.

few more for good measure

Another absolutely freezing night to come!
DPs are really low and Temp dropping by nearly 2°C/hr!
Update as of 5.21 PM: Taihape is already on 2.0°C! URL: http://www.papakai.co.nz/taihapelive.html

Should be a pearler here come sunrise.. nil wind, nil clouds.. and damn cold outside already.
Looking forward to it.. not.

Looks like the cloud and showers expected to move in sometime overnight will ruin the chance of a frost here

Bugger all of a frost here this morning, the thermometer only dipped down to minus 0.5c in the screen overnight.
Interesting, considering all the snow activity over BP and further down south which should of brought lower temperatures with the clear skies. Must of been some warming?

ground frost here now. Just went out and touched the grass and had ice on my hands. Ice has been on the cars for a while now aswell.

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

Just hovering above freezing here at the moment 0.4 to 0.7 C.Very clear outside so expecting somthing tonight

1.9C down here atm in my area of Christchurch.
Id say it will go down to around -2 or -3 tonight, she'll be down to about -2 by midnight so going to be a bloody cold one in the morning..

Looks like the low for night here has already passed, lol
Got down to 3.3°C here at 7:36pm - very cold for that time of evening. Rose a little bit after that and constant 4° now - clouds and a few showers must be about to move in soon...

Probably no frost but these were taken a few hours ago on top of the Otago Peninsula.

Looked like there was a warm sector, weak though, passing over the south today according to synoptic charts. Anyway, 0.5c in the screen would typically imply a ground frost?
