Looks like a westerly for us tomorrow with "gales" later in the evening and Friday then probably back to "NW" again as the next high races to the far north :-k

What exactly do you mean? If it snows then by definition its down to ground level isnt it?

Sorry, I meant down on the flats, as opposed to just on the hills and mountains. My original post could well be the most nonsensical message ever posted here! :-)

How lucky. None of that weather ventured further north.
Last WE I tipped that ChCh could get something interesting today judging by the models but incoming higher pressure at all levels seems to of buggered that up depite the roaring 40's being a bit active this week ;)
