There was a nice display of cc just before sunset tonight... weather lore says 'Mackeral sky - not long wet, not long dry'

The front is pretty much on us now with strong wind and rain.

We had extremely heavy rain here for the last hour, no wind and it stopped 20 mins ago. The cross roads 50meters away from our house is now a river. :shock: I rang the council about blocked drains 2 days ago and nothing was done. :x I unblocked one but it's too cold.

Above all in the misty heights of Kelburn, they all believe the weather changes in 3-hour blocks, it's really quite fascinating watching the weather like that!! :D :D

Seriously, it's a worry you have to log on to overseas' websites to access hourly (the way it should be) satellite pictures. :roll:

Yea :D :D . We actually live up the other end of Seabrook, and practically every drain gets blocked with leaves this time of year and I know what you mean, "Aquaplane" it happened again yesterday. We must be the only ones who notice it and care lol ;) .
