Winter here is not very cold by Nth American and European
standards. The frosty shots in this collection are about as cold as
it gets, that is
about -4C air temperature, probably -7C on the ground.

The citrus are still on the trees which are doing fine, they are
only frost tender under these conditions when young.


For those who have read me going on about medlar jelly here is why

-4C is +24F, which is colder than anything I have seen in more than
five years.

Where are you?

I think he's in OZ, and even there, the coastal climates should be
