Re: Frosts 2013
It's been A light NW here for much of the day. 3.5C at the moment, the warmest it has been for this time of the day for a while.
Good ground frost this morning here with ice in water puddles for much of the day.

Re: Frosts 2013
Very impressive temps there Richard, I suspect there's so many places in NZ that don't have weather stations that would have recorded below -25C (on top of my cook would be one!!)

-0.7 degree frost here in Tawa. Feel sorry for those who still don't have power here after the storm.

Not as cold here as at the airport but I think that's cause we have fog here, which is frozen fog with a temp of -1.6c. Airport is -3.2 so I can only assume the fog is the cause of temp difference.
