Weather warning ...

 Although I love rainy nights and being all snug and cosy inside whilst it's raining outside, this weather warning and associated Civil Defense and police warnings have been very interesting to listen to, particular that in some parts of NZ this is a 1 in 10 year occurrence or in some it's a 1 in 100 year occurrence.

So this particular rainy season is not your usual first sign of autumn rain but is a very precipitous rain in a short time period, which yesterday meant seeing flooding around the area with drains bursting and people having to wade through different areas - or even water boarding.

So have been warned to keep headlights on when driving and watching distance and speed between cars with slippery road conditions in some areas. It's definitely got me rethinking any weekend travelling that I was planning on as some roads are quite hazardous to drive on.

So be safe whilst out there this weekend as hopefully the new week will bring in some sunshiny weather before the cold sets in...
