RECORD OF FROSTS
TEN CONSECUTIVE DAYS I Local residents may be interested • to hear that during the past snap of cold weather there were no less than ten consecutive which , number must create 'something in the nature of a record for the district. 'Certainly in the more frosts than ten have, been encountered but not following one on top of the other without a break. The rain which was ot' a warm and penetrating type. Over 1.30 inches fell, and was generally welcomed particularly by the farming community. This fall of rain was responsible for a fresh growth ! of winter grass which is starting to come away. Prospects point to the dairying season being early, and provided no serious lloods are encountered should prove to be a good one. Although at. present a certain amount of rain is being encountered it is quite possible that any early morning will see once again the ground frozen over with a coating of, frost. This being so, cyclists •particularly are cautioned not to tuck their woolly mufflers away in their draws in mothballs- with the intention of using oilskins from now on, but to keep them handy for the next run of frosts which will doubtless come before many more days go by.
