Black Ice

Our coldest morning in 126 years!

Now, don't laugh - I know New Zealanders and those in the northern hemisphere get it much colder than we do, but to see ice on the bird bath is a real novelty for us. And I'm not sure that the birds were too impressed.

So - we've had the warmest May, the wettest June and July, and now the coldest August.

Doesn't bode too well for summer does it. It will probably be the hottest.
