FOUR mornings of frost coating the ground at Mt Walker means most of what’s growing has hit a stumbling block.

“It’s killed everything that shouldn’t have been growing,” grower Norm Kerle said of last week’s cold snap.

“I don’t have a temperature gauge outside to tell you how many minuses it was, but it would have been very low.”

When asked if he’d had to scrape ice off his car’s windscreen he said, “I don’t do those silly things, I just put on four coats and drive.

“The fingers were pretty frozen when I went to do some planting.”

Another resident of Mt Walker reported a temperature of -3°C on Friday.

And the only Bureau of Meteorology fully equipped weather station in the area at Amberley recorded minimum temperatures of -1.6°C on Friday morning and -1.5°C on Saturday morning.
