Good white frost here this morning with the camelia trees covered in frost.
Down to minus 3.2C but much colder on the ground.
NW cloud cover didn't move away until after lunch so temperatures were very slow to rise.

There was frost in Halswell around midnight that was gone by dawn so it warmed significantly in the wee small hours

The frost a couple days ago has done a good job of burning new shoots of grass. Was -3, so not exceptionally low, so I am a bit surprised to see the burning.
