New Zealand simply doesn't experience enough snowfall to have reliable skifield operations. It'll always be hit-and-miss.malone wrote:arrrgghhhhh! latest model runs have this anticylone building again to the SW in the coming week. Next thursdays map looks like a carbon copy of two weeks ago. When will it end? No good if you are hoping to get a ski season underway on the canterbury club fields. Starting to feel a lot like 1989.

Dull damp easterly flavours were well overdue anyway. Feb-June were all sunnier than average for W´gton region anyway, and there hasn´t been a year significantly cloudier than average since 1993.Wildland wrote:I've definitely got the grumps with this evil anticyclone. Grrrr.
The temperature at Tawa actually reached 10 degrees briefly yesterday, the first time we'd been that high in 6 days. We're back to the gloom with chill rain again today. Too much more of this, and we'll be coming down with cabin fever
I wonder if that bright yellow thing still exists.....
Pity instead Aberdeen (or one of the eastern Scottish towns, anyway) which had a good 88 hrs sun in December but only 79 hrs in June 2007 - persistent "haar" with the onshore flows.

Re: Anticyclone to Lurk in the South Tasman Sea
Yeah, there's a bit of it about the Mackenzie. I'm at Tekapo-B right now where very lightly it's snow off and on and plenty of ice around the place.
Re: Anticyclone to Lurk in the South Tasman Sea

Re: Anticyclone to Lurk in the South Tasman Sea
Yes it actually was nice to see the sun again today, and if there is going to be a frost let it be tonight as its the weekend and I don't have to get up early to work in it .
Although looks like we will loose the sun again tomorrow afternoon onwards and into the rest of the weekend. .
I hope everyone's Friday went ok, or has so far being the 13th .
I like the new format to this forum now and now i have sub black too .
Cheers

Re: Anticyclone to Lurk in the South Tasman Sea
Looking at available data, it's looking like a very wet Tuesday and Wednesday for the East coast between Blenheim / Kaikoura any thoughts on this

Re: Anticyclone to Lurk in the South Tasman Sea
Could be something of interest coming up within the next week or so especailly once this low system spins off into the southern ocean and gets sqeezed by the fat high over Australia, but thats not until the following Sunday, Monday .
Could well be some welcome totals of rain during the week not sure of snow elevations just yet though.
Look at the 9am sattelite this morning it's got a punga head off the coast of Kaikoura maybe it's a sign to encourage us in the game at Jade tonight .

By the way nice article in todays press about weather and storm chasing in general and how not to get struck by lightning, A17 in the Press today for those who dont get the press. But well done Aaron.

Not a cloud or breeze in the Mackenzie all day. Barely peeked above freezing in many places and there's a coating of rime ice on most of the landscape.tornadoman18 wrote:That annoying cloud has rolled in again from the S getting a lil cold.
