Re: Frost reports 2011
cold one here this morning (for us!) around 8C I think, going to be cold here from Sunday night on too, local weather forecaster has 4-7C for us for Monday and Tuesday morning, will be a bit of a shock!

-2.2 deg. here now, pink-and-golden sunlight on the white frost, looks very wintry. Going to be a beautiful day.
