Re: Frosts 2012
There was no frost at home this morning but when I walked down the hill at the bottom of the street at 8am, some of the fields had patches of frost

Re: Frosts 2012
Bit nippy in the north this morn, with Waiouru down to -7C.
Also the year's coldest morn at all 4 of MS's Akld sites, with Akld Aero around 4C and the year's first subzero temp at Ardmore.
2.4C here (2.3C colder than May 3rd) ... thin ice on the windscreen.

Re: Frosts 2012
Very cold in the Waikato this morning, a good white frost. Freezing in the motel in Otorohunga tonight, I'm expecting another frost tomorrow. Fingers crossed for no rain.
