Poll: Were you cold this morning?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton has shivered through its coldest morning of the year so far, plunging to -3.2C overnight - the lowest temperature recorded in the city this winter.

But the chilliest spot in the Waikato region wasn’t Hamilton. That title went to Taupō, which dropped to -4.6C on Friday morning, the lowest reading across the region this winter.
