Re: Frosts 2017
Few frost reports this morning about the area, not here though. Where the Hurunui river leaves the Amuri plains is a frost zone, saw potatoes burned off today down there.

Re: Frosts 2017
Overnight low of 6.2deg with a light NW wind, can we get through the three spring months with no subzero temps.
