Clear skies and calm. Sun record for Feb. will be easily beaten. If it shines all day, it will also be the highest % of the possible ever recorded here - more than a century of recording if older sites are included.

New Plymouth: 16 degrees, 95% humidity, clear skies and sunny, almost dead calm, locally.

Like Wellington, this is going to be a record month. The only hint of rain maybe on Monday, 4th, March. Fingers crossed for that.

Impressive!  Don't think we are doing quite so well - plenty of sunshine but most days have some cloud drifting through as well.

Toronto / Pickering - Canada
WEDNESDAY, Feb 27 - 6:00PM

OK, we 'survived' the Storm
Eventually it started around Midnight with heavy snow........
Due to increasing temperatures it turned out into the characteristic 4 "S" (#&@%ty, Slushy, Sloppy Snow..  :) )
In combination with a strong wind, very nasty!!
All and all I recorded around 8 cm of snow, the rest came down in Rain...
I broke my back in shoveling the drive way, since the Wet Snow is extremely heavy...!!!

Current Conditions at 6:00PM:
Temp: + 1.4 C
Apparent Temp: - 0.5 C
Precipitation: Mix of Snow flurries and Rain.
Wind: Calm
Baro: 1003 mb (dropped from 1010mb at midnight)
Rainfall today: 10.4 mm (And that's a LOT better than Snow..  :)

Cheers,

Arthur
