It has been getting down to zero and below out here for a month or so. But we never get frost beacuse the atmosphere is just too dry.

You think you guys have it tough..
Only 24 degrees in Cairns today, but the south-easterly wind chill drops it to about 21. : If this keeps up, I'll have to break out the long-sleeve shirts. |

I had the first time last week where I couldn't get in to my car in the morning because the door had frozen shut! Couldn't lift the door handle until I broke the ice, and then couldn't open the door either!
We regularly have overnight temperatures below zero here in the Barossa.
