It seems very perculiar, NMT...

I was up in Rotorua last week at a convention, and was due to come home Wednesday night, but my partner convinced me over the phone to stay one more night because there was that southerly hitting the country and he was worried the Napier/Taupo road would be at least icey and possibly snowy.

I left at 5:20am Thursday and there were frosts right through from Rotorua to Taupo to my turn-off just before Napier. Thank goodness for the big trucks.

But you are so right - I always think of daylight savings as a summer thing - but nope, not this year, at the moment, at best, its still spring!
