Caryl Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I walked into town and back this morning, getting very hot in a T shirt etc. Have been home a couple of hours and suddenly there is a noise outside. I look out and there is a sudden gusting of wind and it is hailing! Temperature now 16C (was in mid 20's) and dropping. The hail melted as it hit so no white grass scenes. Wind has dropped as suddenly as it started and so did the hail after about 5 minutes tops :-? It seems the weatherman got it right for once :lol: Lucky I got the washing in when I came home or I would be a bit miffed (and soggy) 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos & Siran Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I've noticed this last week that the temp has been a lot chillier around 5am when I go get the cows, I usually just wear my overalls and a beanie but as late I've taken to wearing my wet weathers and a jacket, not that there's been any rain of course, just a lot of hopeful wishing..... I read in the Northern Advocated on Weds that this drought I going to cost the district around 100 million this milking season....what a shocking season for my first Managment position....Bluuuurk.

bronze-dragon Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 it was fairly sunny here so we decided we would go out to my work and get a replacement heater for the tank. drove down the hill, saw the big black clouds rolling over the hills (looked awesome) drove to Porirua, saw some dude trying to wrestle his large wooden sign to the ground (FAIL hehehe) went to work. got told that our vet sign flew away! apparently it bounced once, flew into 2 peices, 1 piece landed in the Placemakers yard, the other piece in Repco, roughly 200meters away! weather is still horrible (well............ more horrible than usual anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 It certainly passed through fast! I heard on the news that a boy out at Rarangi was hit by a branch blown off a tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Does she get threatened with the pointy stick too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Perrrrhaappssss...... Not in this case, though - the maze is too far away for a teenager to walk to in the rain when Mother is mean and won't drive you there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Here we had a short 1 second powercut then sudden torrential rain and winds and thunder. 7-8 more short powercuts over the next 20 minutes or so then it settled down into moderate wind and rain.

spoon Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Yup, it just go cold real fast here.

Aquila Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Same in the city. I was at work....got instantly dark around 4pm. After work went outside and found the scooter had been blown over (first time ever...its really stable and I suspect another motorbike fell onto it). Brake handle broken and throttle jammed...great. Had to leave it there. Caught 2 buses home and still had puddles in my shoes. Luckily i managed to catch the last bus up Mt. Vic or I would have been in a really bad mood.
