Wanganui Chronicle (NZ)
"In 24 years of living at Papaiti, Frank Wright had never seen a frost as hard as yesterday morning's.
The official low temperature recorded in Wanganui city overnight on Sunday and into Monday morning was -2C but at Mr Wright's property the thermometer dipped to -7C.
"We've seen it as low as -3C, but never -7C before.
"It was absolutely white on the lawn - it was really beautiful."
Mr Wright said he and his wife were keeping warm by the fire.
"Our wood burner has been going non-stop."
Gonville resident Len Goldsack had never seen a frost like it in Wanganui in his nearly 80 years.
"I have seen frosts like that, but only when I've been visiting in Invercargill. I can tell you, it was a good one."
