Had a strong westerly here untill 1am, Calmed down though and we also got our hardest frost of the year so far. Currently -6.7 degrees funny thing is though there is hardly any frost on the ground.

Re: Frost reports 2011
Yeah man, I can't repeat here what I said when I walked outside this morning and saw that lol, but it has put some of the Queensland ones i've been through to shame.
Over the road, that whole pool is all done by volunteer hands so in due time it will get fixed

Re: Frost reports 2011
Yeah should be some good frosts coming up,At least there isnt much snow on the hills around here so that should lessen the severity. Down to -5.7 degrees here this morning.
