It was absolutely freezing as I did my live crosses from Bathurst NSW to the Weather Channel yesterday morning- the mercury dipped down to an icy -3.3 degrees making it the coldest morning of the year!! With clear skies, no winds and little moisture, we had perfect conditions for frost. My producer took this photo in between live reports from the Bathurst Harness Racing Club which was covered in icy frost. Fortunately, the Autumn beauty of the town helped me to forget that I couldn't feel my toes or fingers! The golden sun was rising over fog-filled valleys, the leaves were bright shades of red and burnt orange, and with frost across every surface, it looked like the town was dusted with a coat of icing sugar! But it's important to remember that frost can have a very detrimental impact on some agricultural communities in Australia, especially fruit growers.The frosty starts are here to stay for the next couple of days so get the beanies and scarfs out, and rug up!
