Coldest morning of the year with -2.5°C. Had a few cold ones before this morning as well, but we were in Christchurch where it was even colder.
Was very chilly doing the marathon in -2°C on Sunday morning!

Not an air frost but the rain at 5am froze all over the cars. So very thick ice balls on the car. Not often we get that.
