Re: Frosts reports 2020
Yes, all those places around there, Twizel and Tekapo had maximum temperatures in the minus figures for today.
Even though it was a fine day with it being sunny this afternoon, this afternoon it was only 2C here at midday.
Nice and warm in my conservatory though

Re: Frosts reports 2020
I see that there was an article on 7 Sharp this evening showing Hoar frosts in the MacKenzie country.
I thought the term for ice on trees was Rime, but then who am I to argue.

Re: Frosts reports 2020
But ice forming on trees would be the same as on the ground, any surface surely?
