I wonder what Darfield got down to, possibly lower to what they say on TVNZ news for the lows on the ChCh weather segment on the TV weather just before 7pm?

Its a bit like those marginal NW days when the airport gets mid 30s and New Brighton struggles to get into the mid 20s.

yes John, I find the Darfield temp thing interesting, being high on the top of the Canterbury plains they can be influenced by a katabatic wind, but then Ive worked in that area in years past and have seen really good frosts too.
