Hasn't been dipping below zero here but have had to put the cloth over the vege garden. Have had ice the last two mornings with a low around 2. Strangly the wind isn't dropping so its blowing 10km/h. If that was to drop then we would be in for some good frosts.

first technical air frost since some time in mid July. Thave have been a few days were it got below 1 but never dropped below 0. Thismorning we had -0.3 so hardly anything to write home about but interesting at the substatial lack of frosts this year.
