Re: Frosts 2015
We also had our first frosts of 2015 this week. Very minor ones with mins recorded of 0.5°C yesterday and 0.3°C today. Enough to ice up the cars and make my morning run a bit chilly at 5am!

Re: Frosts 2015
Yes expecting the first decent one in the morning and the next few mornings following. Does anywhere in the Canterbury plains get hoar frosts?

Re: Frosts 2015
No, im guessing you mean a Rime frost like they get in Central South island? We don't get frost on frost really on the Canterbury plans.

Re: Frosts 2015
Scargill does get a weak Rime frost the odd time but nothing like Central Otago.
Its clouded over here,so maybe no frost after all.

Only got down to 2.6C overnight here but first frost I've seen on the grass this year and a good coating of ice on cars this morning.
