Seems like you get heavier frosts there than at your last place John, not a lot different to here yet you are close to the sea.

The frosts here more heavier, might be because of the soil, compared to my West Melton recordings,but Raukapuka seems to have it's local micro-climate, compared to other parts of Geraldine, I dunno.
Interesting

[Richard]

Get very little wind drift here on frosty nights

I see Mt Cook village is currently on -9.6 deg, what will it get to by morning? Reminded me of the winter of 2013 here, the following night after we had a -15deg frost it was -7deg at 7.00, it was dropping one deg every hour, 10.00pm it was -10, it thought if this keeps up it might reach -18 by sunup, but the NW wind came through and went from -10deg to +7 in about 1/2 hour.
