Hmmm… although not that unuaual for Waiouru, MS only show -2.6C for Waiouru Aero (820m asl) yesterday on their website, and NIWA's Waiouru Golf Club EWS, about 2 km to the SSE, only got down -1.0C.

And although MS's -3.5C at Taupo Aero (400m asl) is usually a little cooler than the township, it wasn't quite as cold as NIWA's -4.1C further south near Turangi (350m asl).

Just the slightest amount of ice on the front window on the car, side window not, low 3.8, i'm amazed you would get frost on a surface at that temp.

Down to 1.1deg with a bit of ice about

Down to minus 0.9c overnght but no hint of frosting when I went out to get the paper at 6:20am.
No hints of frost damage in the garden, thank goodness

it's a wonder that you didn't have damage. I had everything covered apart from Kumara that I forgot about, it got hit yet it was + 1.1. Though have you got your frost tender plants out yet?.

One or two. We have to be careful as our garden is one of those featured in the Arts and Plants festival here in Geraldine in a fortnight's time.
Got the frost cloth on tonight

Had another light frost this morning down +1.3 , covered up again thank goodness

Down to zero overnight, but expected so everything was covered. Ice on truck window.

Should be the last one for a while John

Down to minus 0.1C.

Frozen water on the car this morning and 2deg. Surely this must be the last post in this thread.
