Needless to say, our continuing showers leave temps. well above frost level.

Weather forecast reader on News"squawk"ZB cheerfully and dimwittedly told us yesterday afternoon that Wellington would have a low of -5C and Paraparaumu -4C! They'd read anything, most of them. So loveable those stations - "gabble and gasp" style of "newsreading", and endless ads at shout levels.

Coldest here for the season, I think: currently -4.1 degrees. Very white and crisp-looking outside.

Ours are the same up here, no change in tone at all - when forecasting snow in Northland.
