Yer I just heard that. My wife is down there visiting family with the kids. Loud enough to wake 2 of the boys. She reckons it's pretty impressive.

[gav]

Heading north, pretty much over now....

[onearmedbandit]

That was intense, I can't remember the last time I saw an abrupt change like that. Quite violent winds, marble sized hail and an intense lighting display illuminating the entire sky.

[MrMelon]

Sounded bloody impressive. Thought the hail was going to come through the bedroom window! Should've gotten my carcass out of bed and had a look- I love a good thunderstorm.

Yeah woke up momentairly to the lightning flashes but went straight back to sleep, lol. I was fairly tired.

[cammo]

yea...we dont have thunder and lightning or nuthing, but its snowing at my house, so i think i beat you ALL!!! hahaha

It was pretty cool. Over this way the hailstorm could only be described as violent. Some of the hail was golf ball sized.

Took a photo of some of the hail on the ground afterwards. Will post the pic when the film is developed.

Today it's just cold.... brrrrrrrrr.

Was cold in Dunedin.

Hailed for 5 - 10 minute periods from 7am to 1:30 in the afternoon , roads were very white. Some light snow.

Went out for a ride , was doing a good 40 kmph through the icy roads. The gritters had done a good job as they always do.

After I went through the icy roads, I thrashed my bike. It loves the freezing cold air, revs so freely.

Nope. Snowed here today- only for a few mins though. Mostly it was rain, hail and gale force winds. 4°C at noon. :cold:

I hate winter.... :cold:

On the building sites, all of us loathe winter. Mud turns to complete shit. Sites get water logged. Landscaping is a real problem. You end up with an additional 3-5 cm on your shoes from the mud.

In summer we bitch and moan about how hot it is.

There is no pleasing some of us really. The perfect weather doesn't exist... :shifty:

[NotaGoth]

send some of this weather our wayyyyyy...... please!!!! its badly needed.. we only got like a quarter of a tank full of water left... :angry2:
