Hey welcome boomer :wave:

Good frost for you this morning snowstormwatcher,one of the benefits of living in northwest grandcentral at this time of year is that it keeps the frosts away when it does blow.

Mod Note: I'm not sure that discussions about the weather in Cairns is really applicable to a thread devoted to NZ frosts, so I've moved those comments to a new Cairns Weather thread in the Weather Abroad section (although for more routine reports, it could also go in the Weather Blogs section?).

I'll repeat my earlier comment from Friday.

LOL, It was quite frosty in the Waikato yesterday. (Thursday 19th July)

The post you're referring to was in response to boomer's initial post, and although it did make a passing ref to frost in the Waikato, the rest wouldn't have made sense if left where it was. However, if you still feel that strongly about it, PM me and I'll move the post back.
