Most places in Waipara seemed to get to -1. We had -2 in our frost forecasts for our clients initially, but revised that back to -1.5 later in the afternoon.

And that's why many of the growers in Waipara use BS because +5C is absolutely ridiculous,but then again there daily max forecasts are on par also.

Frost here in the ground this morning.

Frost here this morning got down to -2.2 at 5am.

Just a hint of ice of top of the car this morning,wouldn't want it any heavier with a few frost tender plants outside.

At 7am the air temp. here was 0.9degrees, with frost on the car and a hint of white on the grass. Sunny!

-2 ,still had my frost tender plants are in pots,luckily they were put in the tunnelhouse last night.

0.4 at 7a.m. Whiter than yesterday morning on car and grass.

Hey that is no good good Richard Temps down over night are around the 5 degrees at 6am. With warm days and plenty of sun the snow on the ranges is retreating. Hopefully the ground is now warm enough to prevent any major frosts now.

A -2 mongrel frost this morning and 10C in my tunnelhouse.

Got down to 0 degrees here overnight so a slight frost not enough to do any damage to plants.

Was 1.1 degrees at 6.30am, ice on car. Now 11.0 deg. Sunny, pleasant.
