Re: Frost reports 2011
living in NW grand central can be a pain in the ase in spring when it blows for days on end, but this time of year is a real bonus,today been the second day of a continual gentle wind,hoping it can carry on through tonight like it did last night again.

Re: Frost reports 2011
The wind petered in the early hours and there was a light one here too,NW then sprung back up again mid morning and is still blowing now at about 10-20kmp,i'm picking it should keep any frost away tonight, mind you there seems to be a bit of high cloud coming up from the south which will help also.

Re: Frost reports 2011
Some frost on the houses down the hill this morning, only the 3rd time so far this year I have seen that. Still waiting for the first proper frost though, I think the coldest Nelson has had so far this year is 1.7C and that was way back at the end of April!

Wee bit of a frost this morning, enough to make the decking slippery.
