Hey Nev, we are doing a house sit on Waiheke island for a week starting thursday

[Richard]

Rain has now turned to more of a drizzle, 28mm in total for this second low.

It has struck me as slightly odd that there has hardly been a breath of wind here in Lincoln today. Eerily calm, I guess we are waiting for it to swing to the southerly quarter

I'm surprised by how high the snowline is around the mountain here this morning, it didn't fall any lower than 1400m.

[Tracy Herbert]

All this is from previous falls, looking at the photo close up it looks about 1300m

the air mass that has moved into the eastern south island to give this rain has been dragged down and around the low...from the north...
there was a colder air mass that had been dragged up and around a high to the south east...but that must have got pushed out

Mt. Peel today

[Richard]

This last rain has made it the wettest for over 20 years, water table is now only 80cm below ground, worried about my peach trees, they dont like there roots sitting in water.

Wow. Stunning.

[Richard]

Rainfall totals in this area ranged wildly just within a few kms. 5km to the NW near the foothills 98mm and 7km to my SW 78mm

[Razor]

Still looks mucky in the days ahead. Could be a significant addendum or two to this thread coming up in the next week or so

[Awhituobs]

I'm more thinking about this weekend through to mid next week for the South Island if GFS gets its way
