The 6am MetService weather map has the closest you would get to that of the depression passing over upper North Island :)

Supposed to be pink but due to workware they generally took on a rather work-stained rusty appearance mainly due to brake-block dust[-( :evil:

I see that Bob McDavitt made mention about lows being repsonsible about the winter weather so far?
Must be those Dsa/Dsb locos moving over the NI ? :D
Nothing down here, except for boring DJ weather ;)

At last after going through my vast photo collection here is a photo of Dsb 306 which I took at Linwood Loco in 1972 before proceeding out on the afternoon South Yard Shunt.
If you look closely you can see the side coupled rod system that Michael was referring to

Yes, they do, the old "Trams" they used to call them.
Hardly a weather system could be described by the shape of them tho', or even their bogies [-( :roll:
