Well it’s been an unusually chilly start to 2017 in some parts of the country – and we’ve been keeping a close eye on some of the lower temperatures around New Zealand so far in the year.

This week’s poll asked the question “Have you used heating in the last week”, and we were surprised to see that nearly one third of our readers answered yes!

We’ve had hundreds of responses on Facebook and Twitter related to the “summer” conditions – but hopefully we’ll see things come right soon!
