Yuh - but sometimes the radar is handy to know whether it's best to wait an hour - or be arsed putting all the plastic on.

I used to use the radar a lot for my model flying, lately it seems to drop out in bad weather with monotonous regularity.....Has become useless..........

Must say its a nice turnaround to see you lot getting all the shite weather these past few years,used to be us downunder and will admit to in the past on the odd occasion thinking "lucky buggers" up yonder,we pretty much have it all these days really,weather/roads hell even less 4wds and many of those we have are actually used off-road,must be shite roads up there if you need one to take the young uns to school.

Lets face it. In Auckland, if you can see sky tower it's gonna rain and if you can't, then it's already raining.

's a wet wet city.

In Auckland, the only difference between summer and winter is the temperature of the rain.................

(Although this has been the best summer for a loooong time)

[Big Dan]

worse thing about this heavy rain is the Rain fade that sky tv gets

[Big Dave]

Do you guys live in a different city to me? - It's been a mint summer - hardly put my wet weathers on at all.

Sydney has been much worse this year - mucho.
