Got down to -2.3C then clouded over here, too. Last night was the first time this winter that it's dropped below freezing before midnight.

In alexandra my gauge outside got down to -6.9 but were in a river basin at the local camp and like you Richard thick high cloud has rolled in so i dont think we will rise above 0 if the cloud stays.

Good frost overnight. As Steven said on his posting, first time dropping below zero before midnight, where it was minus 2 at 10pm.
Anyway, down to minus 4.3C before clouding over from the NE, and then it was minus 1.3C at 7am.I did notice that the frosting got lighter as I moved towards Christchurch.

Interesting..... I'm sitting on -2.0 with fog while hamilton airport is on -3.9 and I suspect that is without fog. Hence me being warmer. Wish we didn't have the fog. Would have been good to hit -5. Something we haven't done since 2009
