Yes. I have the fire on since 6pm too.
Now down to 5.7C. Should be a frost tonight. Clear sky and high barometer.
Shame the aurora australis display wasn't tonight instead of last night.

I think a frost may be on the cards for the Waikato. 64% RH here and is seems like it is dropping. 13Â°C atm when the wind drops the temp could drop quite rapidly.

13.6Â°C here at the mo and dropping.

It feels unseasonably cold. I'll sleep well tonight.

Havnt used heater/fireplace since about july. Cold is good!

All fires smoke even new ones

, i would think they may have just got it going

I see M/S has chch at 3.5C now so it will be much colder than the forcast low of 3C tonight.

I cant wait for a decent snowfall and the power to be out for a couple of days and everyone's heat pumps not to work and then I can say i told you so!

Nothing beats a fire!

Gas is quite popular for heating in Auckland.

Down to 9C here this morning, felt crisp.

Interestingly, it was quite a bit cooler than that out here this morning, low of 6C

Temp dropping. Looks like another frost here tonight. 4.9C outside, 24.3 inside. Fire just ticking over.

Just had a phone call about a tornado in Papakura... sounds odd to me... anyone know anything!?

Manukau heads obs · Fri 09/04/2010 13:44

I did see some good build ups over that way a little while ago
would be a funnel cloud I guess

sounds like a strong willie willie

MS data hasn't been updated since 8am ... what's going on ?!

The front GFS has crossing the North Island on Wednesday looks interesting.
All this fine settled weather is getting old

tgsnoopy · Unread post by **tgsnoopy** » Sat 10/04/2010 09:36

Hmm, Wednesday, the day we will get busy again at work setting up the school dental stuff for the new term. Yep, I could see Murphy getting me and it firing up quite well that day.

Michael · Unread post by **Michael** » Sat 10/04/2010 10:09

Will it get across the kaimais?

tgsnoopy · Unread post by **tgsnoopy** » Sat 10/04/2010 12:36

If there is one that can, I like the look of that setup. My theory is Murphy will get me as it's unlikely I'll be able to go chasing anything on that particular day. A week earlier and I would have had a crack at it. It's been a lean season here this year, payback for the good ones we got the season a year ago I guess.

Yep. How do you think Mid-Cantabrians got through 2 weeks without power? Cole ranges and open fires. I'm glad I've got my gas heater and BBQ for backup!

Wooo! Walking into my bedroom felt like walking into a desert. The afternoon sun heated it up to 28degrees. Heaps cooler outside. Probably won't last that long. Looking like another freezer overnight.
