Re: General September Weather
Lindis Pass closed so it must be pushing into the Mackenzie as well. Nothing other than rain evident on the Mt John webcam though

Re: General September Weather
Wet day here in Geraldine but nothing much to "write home about".
Nice red on the radar early this afternoon but came to nothing, really, here.![o_O o_O](./images/smilies/o_O.gif)

Re: General September Weather
Funny how the FB forecasters always say these events are hard to forecast- been rolling out that line all winter!

Re: General September Weather
Looks like GFS was bang on the money. Not a drop of rain here, although rain radar has some pushing out towards us from the foothills at present

Re: General September Weather
Had 0.4mm here, but that was expected. Amazing to think there is so much snow down south yet still 14deg here

Re: General September Weather
That has been true for some of the potential storms this winter, but this one was text book, the model guidance was spot on, it followed a similar pattern to previous similar events, not hard at all.

Re: General September Weather
EC, UKM, Access R, GFS all bringing the developing subtropical low more west on the 00Z run. Parts of Upper NI might get quite wet tomorrow night into Wednesday.

Re: General September Weather
I noticed on the TV tonight, that the snow flakes were quite large, probably because of the warmer air undercutting the colder air down south. Cool day here with 8mm. Noticed that the rain was moving from the NW to SE. Not much wind here. Slight NE now.

Re: General September Weather
Today's easterly was a bit cool. Reminded me of being back in Christchurch.

Re: General September Weather
Enjoying this prolonged warm spell, see 22C predicted for tomorrow. Going to feel cold when it breaks next week.

Re: General September Weather
Managed 10mm in the last 24 hours with that sub-tropical low but rainfall is still on the low side so far for September.
An equinoctial Polar vortex pulse and gales is on track for NZ according to the GEFS ensemble 18th Sept 18z run . Antarctic surface temps starting to normalise hinting that cold surface air is heading equatorward. Sub tropical jet interacting with polar jet. It's looking like an unstable robust cold snap next week, especially for the SI.

Re: General September Weather
I see the Queenstown Ski fields got 50-60 cm of new snow from Mondays storm. Wanaka and Queenstown got around 40mm precipitation.

Re: General September Weather
Think you'll find our Spring Equinox is this Sunday (23rd) at 1:53pm NZST.
![Smile :smile:](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
And Daylight Saving begins the following Sunday (30th).
And yes, the ozone hole usually peaks around mid October...

Re: General September Weather
Had some false tips of the rain gauge on my weather station overnight probably due to the slug I found crawling on the tipping bucket mechanism first thing this morning... that's a first for me, didn't think slugs could get up that far and then into the rain cone housing ![Think :-k](./images/smilies/eusa_think.gif)
