Got the foehn effect in Oxford

My weather station in Timaru 10mins ago says 13.8° just went outside and it was warm. Yet 2rs drive freezing. We were thinking be a good Frost here this morning as 7pm last night it was freezing.

Very hard frost in Rangiora 🥶

Google temp says it's 7 here in Kaikoura but I'm living portaloo life ATM and it feels way colder than that

Annat @7am. Northwest gusting 34.6 kph , temperature 7.4 up from 0.4 just before midnight. With this wind it feels like 0.4.

So mild in comparison 🙄Timaru

It was -1 when I came home from work at 2:30am. Well that's what my app said. So who nos 🤷 lol. All i no is it's a bit chilly on the old 🤣

Loved going up there in the early 70’s when I moved from Christchurch to Hororata for work. Still live in the district, in. Coalgate where I bought a section and built on it. Lake Ida not like it used to be unfortunately.

Loved going there to skate in mid 70's

The building is still there seems a shame it isnt used probably more problem than it is worth to land owner with public access always bringing unneeded complications

Learnt to Ice-skate 60's!

Back when it was affordable to drive out of the city !!

Wow Karen Jackson such a popular place, look at all the people and vehicles!

An era of unrestricted access to that area now long gone

I remember going ice skating there! Not cold enough these days

Used to ice skate on Lake Clearwater too !

Really?

I remember skating on this lake as a child. I'm now over 70.

Went in the mid 1950's

Loved it

Remember it well

Julie Robb Russell Clark lots of fun had there. Baileys, chocolate and BBQ in the freezing cold.

Just visted it this weekend gone

Yeah every weekend over the winter...I remember pulling Burt Sparrow out of hole in the ice one year

Was a great day out going there

Did they see your post? This just popped up on my F.B. page xM

1967 Myself,sisters and my Mother

Jo Johns neat photo!

Does it still ice over ?

Back in the good days before they screwed it all and no one can go there. Needs to come back

the mini ice age in 70's - And seems like we are entering new one. I think with the electricity prices and inflation it's not going to be as much fun.
