It was snowing in downtown Wellington at 1:00pm. Only for about 15 minutes. Now it has cleared off, apart from a bit of cloud over the Orongorongos. Maybe the test won't be so bleak tonight after all...

Well that is if my (score) raffle ticket is going to be a winner!

Even being pissed off with Henry, I could never envisage that! :doh:

I hope I have lost my $3.00. :niceone: Cheers John.

PS: It's been snowing lightly but blowing like hell all day here! :cold: (power was out for two hours this morning as well)

It's gusting to 110kph down here in Dunedin, and I'm rostered on as crew for a cruise tonight on the boat I work on.
The skipper says "she'll be right mate", but I'm not convinced.

Oh, it's also snowing down to about 80m, but not at sea level where I am.

Yeah but our crappy winter weather makes us appreciate the summers all the more - and we do heaps of riding then.

As ya would !
Know i'm gonna appreciate riding when my cold spell comes to an end ! Should almost be warm by then too !
Sounds like it is crap out there tonight, but to be honest the crap you might see during the bok black game tonight, will be aprox ten times worse than what we get where i am on the coast !
Dont make the riding any better, as if ya ride 15 k south or north you will ride into the crap again ! Something to do with the layout of the hills along here, tehoro beach can have a drought in winter if its predominately NW winds !
Sitting here it must be about mmmm 15 degrees right now, aww wait hehe fire's going (opens door, closes it even more quickly) yeah crap out there, rain (sheltered from the wind) but yeah its winter mate lol
Aint it great to see rain (tank water here)

It wasn't too bad at the test. A bit wet on the way there, but then it cleared off and the wind dropped until about 10 minutes before fulltime, when the southerly picked up again. More pleasant than it was there for the Irish test. The Rimutaka Hill is closed to traffic, so the Rapaites who came to the game by car will be having a longer trip home than they expected.

Just wet and cold here now, there was a bit of snow after lunch, about 1/2", but not as much as the city got. Had to fire up the old trusty Landrover and pick up her indoors at 3.00pm in town, no problems.

Right now in South Auckland it is hailing down, windy and 4 bloody degrees. The road outside has little marbles on it. 30 minutes ago we had lightening. In another 30 minutes it will probably all be gone.
