Cath, Wow, Thanks, I had no idea, I was under the impression NZ was
moderate in Winter. Can this type of pattern continue into August? Or
should I expect this pattern to continue? Of course if you could
answer this for sure you'd make a fortune calling the weather LOL. With
the ski slopes just opening I was assuming your winter was just
starting!
350 homes without power, I can stay in Miami for that, a small tropical
storm (doesn't even need to be a hurricane) will do that here in
August!
Thanks, Patty
