We are OK here with the weather. Bit of rain and breezy. But other places around the country are getting hammered. Wellington (where Lara is studying) is pretty much shut down due to wind. Airport is closed, and the ferries to the Sth Island aren't sailing. One wind gauge on the hill above the city recorded 150k gust (and then stopped  :wacky: ). The wave buoy at the harbour entrance was measuring 11 metre (36 ft) waves, hence the ferry cancellations.  

Further South Christchurch has heavy rain and flooding, and inland heavy snow. although that seems to be clearing this evening. The rain has moved Nth to Wellington, so they are still under storm warnings until the morning.

I'm a long ways from 70 this morning.
34° and the high will be 65, but lots of sun.

Yesterday the windows in the car was not down much, did not even see 60 and that wind was a cold wind. But lots of sun to enjoy.
I bet the low places had a touch of frost this morning.
It's good it's staying a little cool. Better then 2-3 weeks of temps in the 70's and then we get a frost.

The black flies was out a couple days ago. This morning temps will smarten them critters up!!!

I have not been out by Long Lake or Trousers Lake in years, but was always ice in them lakes until June. In central NB those trout streams was ice cold in July. And around the lakes, if you was lucky the deer made paths. Anywhere it was spring fed along the bank of the lakes, it was like ice cubes and the bottoms where the springs came in was sandy and the vermiculite that weathered off the rocks looked like gold shining in the sun. But the lake bottoms was deep mud/sediment, shallow lakes. The trout congregated near them cold water springs. You could fish with a bare hook, anything that moved was hammered by a trout. The good old days.

Well Lara made it out of Wellington this morning. She said the plane was rocking from the wind, on the tarmac.  ffcheesy

Leaving Wellington wasn't too bad, wind would be straight down the runway, then climb out over the sea. She said getting into New Plymouth was a bit hairy as the wind had got up here, and would have been a crosswind. But they got it on the ground.

Weather supposed to clear up tomorrow and we should get some more nice clear Autumn days, probably with some frost.

Pretty morning here, early clouds cleared out before 8am then blue skies and it hit 76°. Stayed that way until 11:30 when it clouded over again. Rain began to raid at 1:30, the temp dropped over 10° in 20 minutes, the winds picked up, rai pelted, thunder and lightening. dropped 1/2" of precip in short order. Now we are in a dry pocket for a few hours before it starts for real. Forecast calls for rain everyday now until next Saturday.

Been raining here now for a couple hrs. The ground here has not been muddy from these little rains. I think they are all needed, was terrible dry last fall until almost Christmas. The wet places in the woods are not dried up, but the fields dry fast once the snow goes.

Overcast here. 44° this morning. We had 2/10" rain which ended before 9:00 pm and nothing since. 

One Tom with 8 hens, 4 deer, 1 moose and 1 rabbit I saw on my buggy ride this morning. I walked upon the moose which was lying down a few feet from the edge of a field. I think momma told it to move on, probably had a new calf this spring by now.
