Re: Frost reports for 2010
Down to minus One already here in West Melton but the temperature is fluctuating much more than last night so it probably wont be as cold.

Re: Frost reports for 2010
I wonder if there are any frost societies around?

Re: Frost reports for 2010
-2.9C even with a mostly cloudy night here.
I notice Queenstown had -6.5C when I just checked, which 'feels like -11C: 7 layers of clothing' hrmm in a related story, the Michelin man was spotted in downtown Queenstown today...

Re: Frost reports for 2010
First two frosts for the year here with 1.2C on Sat and 3.2C Sun.
Interesting to see 1 or 2 central North Island 'official' min-temps fall over the weekend. Turangi apparently recorded its lowest all-time temp of -7.3C on Sun, although records only began in 1996. And Taumarunui's -6.3C on Sun was just shy of its all-time record of -6.4C set in 1954, since records began 1947. Other notable temps, although far from records, were -6.6C at Waiouru on Sun and -6.4C at the Chateau on both Sat and Sun.
UPDATE:: Turangi recorded -7.6C this morn (Mon) and Taumarunui -6.8C.

Re: Frost reports for 2010
Down to -5C here in Kaiapoi this morning and -7C up at work near Darfeild, no scattered cloud or NE you see.
Lots of ice on the roads with very big patches along shaded places, had to knock a good 10-15km off the actual travel speed.
Even ice still on the roads in shaded places at lunchtime, and an accident near Tai Tapu apparently this morning not sure if it was ice related.

Re: Frost reports for 2010
7 degrees here still in the city, temp has actually gone up slightly in the last half hour, bit of cloud cover, wonder if it is going to burn off and we will get the expected -3 tonight.
