1424101 2016-08-05 21:10:00 How are you folks doing in this bad weather spell? Been raining here in Hawke's Bay for the last 24 hrs, heavy snow down to 200M and a gale warning. Eight degrees at his time.

Brrrr, I am going to light a fire (in the log fire :) ) and watch the Olympic opening ceremony then the rugby finals tonight.

1424104 2016-08-06 00:02:00 ken used to love Napier weather, we lived in Southern Hawkes Bay, many years ago and I would say they would have a touch of snow.

There's a splattering on te Port Hills here and cold.

Mind you it is winter and we need global warming to huury up and reach us, lol.

1424107 2016-08-06 01:17:00 See Metservice is expecting snow up to 50/70cm on the higher points of the Napier Taupo Road

Would say the Gentle Annie Route will get a hammering also

1424108 2016-08-06 01:49:00 We had no power for around 5 hours during the night and just been powered on after another 2 hours from 10.30 this morning. We have been warned that there may be more cuts. 7 degrees here.

Apart from that we are fine. A roaring fire going and watching the countries march into the stadium. Am recording the highlights later as we didn't see any of the opening antics.
