Wellington, just raining and windy. A couple of thunder claps earlier on today but nothing to major so far.
lol today I was filling my car up with petrol at pak'n'save (under shelter) and I saw this dude with a trolly going to his car, then all of a sudden it started pissing down with strong winds, the poor dude got drenched after filling his car with the groceries and taking the trolly back. All I could do was laugh, never seen a fat man move that fast.

this storm sounds boring however once again New Zealand has reminded me of the movie the day after tomorrow...that one started out with some freak storm and ended with ice that chased you
oh and the wolves...make sure if you live near a zoo that you be careful of escaped animals

Welcome to GetSome, pun network.
When it rains, it puns
Not much going on in east aucks atm.. bit o wind, bit o rain, then it stopped.. still a little breezy but not bad.
As Dee said had a moment of sideways rain (This shit was blowing down our driveway and under our deck through the carport, was epic)
-
In Welly about 40 mins ago it was freaken windy. After walking in wind for 20mins it died and is pretty calm now :D
-
I'm man enough to admit that I was awake in my bed half the night worrying that the huge trees outside my house were going to fall on me. That was some STRONG WIND!
Didn't help having no power :(
-
Berg was powerless?

There was thunder and lightning at 6am (it woke me up)
But there is snow everywhere. It was snowing last night but was too dark to take any good pictures. Speaking of pictures, here are a few:
-
Have woken up to beautiful and sunny, clear blue sky in the Hutt valley.
Am wondering if this is the eye of the storm? Or did our bogans scare the storm away?
-
The weather people are hyping this shit to the extreme. Though it doesn't help when tvnz decide that they should have a little bit of news with their hour of weather. :(
-
Beautiful sunny morning here now, off to Tauranga for some retail therapy later!
:)
-
Nice and sunny today.
Probably should go outside and clean the front of the house.

Just had a big downpour and house shaking gusts of wind. Clearly the bogans have failed.

Oh you're lucky Tiwa. I wish I lived down south :)

I was unimpressed
I thought it was going to be a big storm, was little more than a wet fart
-
Wind feels gooooddd.

It so windy. And for some reason my neighbour thinks this is the perfect time to cut the hedge next to our house, which is blowing shit everywhere.

Manukau Heads (wind only)

It's definitely windy.

Windy and cold as fuck.
-
the 25m tall poplar tree behind our neighbors house fell over onto someone elses house, other than that, uneventful

Snowed here a couple of hours ago, only for a few minutes though.

After five hours of wandering around I got 166 pictures of the South City and City Central. There was snow everywhere, snowmen (and snow women) and snow fights on every street. I havent sorted them all out, but I've got five of the best ones below.
There is even a video on youtube (the article on stuff.co.nz) where a guy puts a camera on his remote controlled helicopter showing all the snow everywhere.
Apparently it is going to snow again tonight so there will be even more snow around tomorrow. You may have noticed that I have been saying 'snow' a lot. That is because everywhere has snow. Stadium Southlands roof and Windsor New Worlds roof has collapsed due to the weight of the snow.
The snow movers didnt appear to be out in force. The inner city was just a muddy, snowy wet mess.
Also: Invercargill drivers are incredibly bad. I counted over 15 accidents when I was walking around South City and at least 5 people crashing into parked cars in City Central. However: It was hilarious watching people turn a normally straight forward parking lot into a permanent grid lock.
There was also one car with a snow man built on it. It drove past me before I could get a picture of it, which disappointed me greatly.

Apparently your stadium collapsed under the weight of snow. Ouch.
We've just finished a great display of thunder and lightening. Great to watch through the window from the warmth of bed.
-
Sunny in Hawkes Bay, as usual. Wind was a bitch though.
-
Some big ass thunder in Palmy tonight, periodic big winds and rain.
-
thought i would fly my kite ,got a 2m parapont and it was howling , got a couple of mean gusts thru and it snapped the braided line like it was a piece of spaghetti ...up until then it was prolly blowing about 45k gusts...
-

Yep. The roof collapsed and it set on fire.
Update: Invercargill is closed. Four major businesses have been closed due to heavy snowfall. All the supermarkets are closed. I work at the small Elles Road New World on a sunday and we had EVERYONE in town descend on the store because the other supermarkets (pak n save and countdown) were closed. The other new world, as previously mentioned, had its roof collapse due to snow and is closed for two weeks.
The fire department came to the store and deemed it unsafe. The police turned up and ordered everyone to leave both customers and employees. So I got off work early. People were still trying to get in the store while the police stood outside and forbade entry. Hell: People were trying to enter the car park even though there were road cones AND police cordon tape preventing entry.
This means I have have the rest of the day off. I'd go outside and play in the snow, but it is currently blowing a gale and hailing. Fingers crossed that this caries on to tomorrow, then I wont have to go to school!
edit: Checked my email

Classes are cancelled tomorrow morning – afternoon classes are as usual all going well
w00t! No test tomorrow!

After much swearing and Windows Movie Maker crashing, I finally got the movie working. This is my walk around on the Saturday after the huge snow storm.

This is my walk around on the Saturday after the huge snow storm.
Last night Invercargill had a big thunderstorm. According to my flatmate it started snowing at around 11:30pm and the roof started leaking, so he's been up all night with buckets. He's also cleared the snow from the roof. Apparently it built up enough to let the rain flow sideways.
There is snow everywhere outside, no where near as much as last year, but quite abit.

Make a snowman.
Although I disagree with my classmates and the entire population of Southland, apparently the 'snow' was just 'hail'. I have never seen hail that looks like 'snow' before, nor that sits there all day and causes traffic accidents.
And: Do you know how cold it gets when you're making a snowman? Its ridiculous and not worth the effort.
-
Snow is soft and floats down to land on your head gently.
Hail smashes you in the face as you attempt to run away from it.
-
If you can build a fair sized snowman with it, it's snow.

What the hell New Zealand? Its been snowing since midnight last night.

It's like 35 here today. So I have my blinds closed, and my aircon on MAXIMUM

"Better world" - LOL. I was actually just thinking about this the other day. As a general rule, the Left (and "greens" in particular) have a self-righteousness that goes well beyond rationality. They refuse to believe that what they are doing may actually be harming the world.
Their zeal is only matched by their arrogance - i for one don't need some fucked up, drug-addled, never got over their parents ignoramous tellng me how i should live my life, and worse, telling me that somehow i am wrong and they are right. I only have to look at their lives to know that nothing could be further from the truth.

I guess it depends what your view of 'the World' is.

haha that is gold just for the sheer ignorance! Keep it coming, I need a good laugh.
Hey, maybe you could help me. I think there is an important 'discovery' here just waiting to be published. I thought dinosaurs were extinct, but lo and behold, you seem to be offering evidence to the contrary!

Lucky I read on stuff.co.nz that there is a massive storm in Auckland before I decided to go outside.
Hoping for some lightning storms.

Queen street flooded with shit and I lol'd hard.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
I mean really, wtf?

This on the other hand, not so funny.
Garage flooded... circuit breaker tripped, and a power board is obviously underwater. Garage won't open. No other points of entry.#FML
BL bro, that sucks.
-
Woah!!
And heres me complaining that my window had frozen shut this morning. Looks like way worse problems up north.
-

Yep, blame the Auckland council of the 80's & 90's that kept their rate increases lower by not properly investing in infrastructure, whether it was electricity (remember the 1998 black out of Auckland's CBD for weeks?), roads & rail/buses, and water/sewage. Save a few % back then, for shit in the streets when it rains now.
People should keep that history in mind when complaining about the cost and impact of long term infrastructure projects like the inner city rail link & second harbour crossing.
