uhm, going by the models?....not anytime soon for anyone......oh well.gopolks wrote:Well, its bye bye to this cold front and thread.
Temp is 4.3, barometer is 1011 and is raising 2.0 per hour, partly cloudly skies, SE winds.
So the big question is, when is the next cold front suppose to hit, a weeks time?, ten days?
Dear Diary,
Not much happened in Christchurch today.
Again.
...But maybe next time.

6.20pm staellite - still looks like quite alot of shower cloud in east of South Island, but much thicker cloud over North Island. Ties in with 6pm mslp map showing low to west of North Island, moving eastward while very cold southeasterly pushes onto island. No MetService heavy snow warning for central plateau, but looks like quite abit of the white stuff should fall there, maybe to quite low levels.

It looks like we have lost some SI posters to the skifields today- its very quiet...
Partially cloudy, strong SE, gusting to 40kms but dying, 5.4ºCmin and still only 5.9 now. Baro rising rapidly from 999 to 1010, the winds will ease but there appears to be a Low still coming ... here in the Sth Waikato... how is Hamilton - Foggy?
A cold SE airstream for the next day and at least some clear skies ahead... I'm sick of clouds and rain
