Not quite a frost here this morning, so I will not write it up on this topic, but it was the coolest morning so far this year. See my weather blog to see what it got down to.

Ice on the car again this morning >_< gauge showing +0.5,though the Tessa sensor says 1.8,i never take readings from that sensor these days because i dont think they are even close to accurate.

Yes, an early frost season this year, looks like more frost for parts of the South Island this morning.

Nothing yet here in ChCh this year. Cloudy mornings rather than clear inland will be the reason for that

0c here overnight. Have been getting a lot of fog lately which has been saving us from the harder frosts.

I thought the fog was going to form last night here as it was really misty at 9.00pm but then cleared,interesting that this morning like it does on many occasions is a fog formed half hour before sunrise and is gone about after,don't know why it does that,if it happened after the sun came up,then you would know its got something to do with the first warmth of the sun,but?? :-k
