BRRRRR....

Australian conditions vary from one extreme to another. What do you do and when do you do it?

That's pretty cold! What are your average overnight lows this time of year?
We normally get 3-4 frosts per year but nothing like that! This year only 1 so far, most nights are 10C at the moment but I'm not complaining....

Much the same here as Matthew's place. Regularly below 0 in winter, often -2 or -3C and occasionally down to -7C. I don't have a thermometer outside so not sure exactly how cold this frost was but it looks like around -4C. The frosty mornings are not too bad. Feels much colder when there is a wind blowing and/or sleet but no frost when the air is moving or with cloud cover.
