Morning Kbers!

It's 8am and a quick report from observation post on Mt. Albert that the sky is dark and rain looks set to persists for most of the day.
Mt. Wellington also reported the same.

Looks like it's getting a bit brighter up this way...hard to say what it will do?

Would be keen if it fines up later. Keep us posted Dave.

The skies are still leaking down here, although it's a bit half hearted. No telling how long it will hang around though.

the system has slowed a bit since last night, at the speed it was going then it would have cleared us by now

was pissing down at 9am so decided might head out late. Still drizzeling now so i am staying home ,warm and dry. Don't mind the wet roads, blistering wind or sunless sky. But i HATE coming home soaked through smelling like wet dog. Not the best way to pull the ladies aye

. Hopefully if i am not playing sport tomorrow i'll be out there but it looks unlikely
