it was 1993 as the calander says it anyway, I cant remember any big storm that day to be honest but hey i would have only been 6.
However if i can remember the 1992 snow storm i should be able to think back then but i honestly cant remember any major storm.

And 1992 had two snow storms both as bad as each other too

They did.
On the 27th, I got stuck on the Scargill Bank when the DFT couldn't pull the train up the hill

It was heavy snowing but I think there was a fault on the DFT.

Were there DFTs here in 1992? It must of been one of the first rebuilds of the old 6xxx series DFs

O.T About trains.In railfan it had the GM DFs went for 17 years so the 1st ones 1979 takes it to 1995-96 before being DFT DFMs turbocharged,maxitrak whatever.Anyway they went from nice loud locomotives to quiet ones when under strain.The louder the better.As far as weather I remember the DA class and on a wet day the noise was impressive.

-5 C here this morning,first frost in 8 days thanks to the NW wind that never stopped all that time,moving in to a different weather Pattern now by the look of it with high pressure dominating for a week to come.Damm i dont like high pressure in winter or in summer,winter brings frosts,summer intense heat that this area experiences,being one of the hottest places in NZ

5 degree frost down here this morning. Please excuse me if I dont get the time of the low from MetConnect, but that reading was taken just before 6am for the radio stations to use.

Richard · Unread post by **Richard** » Fri 07/08/2009 06:55

Yea North East to Easterly wind here all night, mild and sunny and 10 degrees.

NZstorm · Unread post by **NZstorm** » Sat 08/08/2009 10:02

8.9C here at 6.30am when I checked and it was clear with a slight E. Frost season is over around here.

melja · Unread post by **melja** » Mon 10/08/2009 07:21

Rangiora has had 5 days straight of good frosts with this morning being -3.5 air temp.
Chch has had a NE wind and none

CHCH Weather Chaser · Mon 10/08/2009 08:02

I think there is a false radar reading again with the same blue shower line near North Canterbury. According to metservice we had 0.2mm of rain in the last hour? It hasnt even rained has it? Radar suggests it hasnt either. Beats me!

Dew counted?

CHCH Weather Chaser · Mon 10/08/2009 09:11

Thats a good point actually! In fact it says for August now that we have had 0.4mm. Surely the will deduct this for the monthly readings? Imagine if August offically had no rain at all in Christchurch. They cant say 0.4mm was the tally if it was due to dew!

Yes the dew was heavy last night, required regualr windscreen wiper use in the car.
