you can see the trough line over auckland via the wind direction info
i.e its between the Airport and Onehunga
ps, the surface SE wind must be undercutting the westerly above,..as the rain radar is showing the rain is coming in from the west still here

So if 70cm has already fallen,do they mean 50 to 80cm of snow on top of that again, or is that total
