Re: Frosts 2013
As per usual the NW sprang up last night and it got nowhere near the forecast of -4C, currently 0.2C, Darfield the same. Hopefully the metservice will start to put up darfield's maximum temp for the day, they have been 6-8C too low the last 2 days and today looks the same...

Frosts 2013
Feeling about zero out there in Riccarton at the moment. I flew into chch after the sun had set which was a shame. I wanted to see the snow on the alps from up high.
