Well it is different to what we have experienced in my 50+ years living CNI.
No runs of frosts for awhile.
Cloudier winter days.
No sun to warm up during the day.
Burning more wood.
Wood that is a bit damper as we had a wet summer.
The land use change appears to have made a big difference here.
Literally thousands of hectares from trees both cutover native and pines into grass.
Mate worked on block by the Pouakani Totara and records show it went from summer safe to drier.
Just have to work around it we don't have much choice.
