At Mahia Beach at the moment, cold blustery SW at 39.2kmph.
Rain tumbling down 25.5mm since midnight. A cracker of a hail storm at 10-30am -paddocks as white as snow.
Sea pretty nasty ,more seals ashore than seagulls  at present.
Looks like the rough stuff is going to last out till late Wednesday or possibly Thursday.
Not in a panic yet as still a couple of bottles of sailors delight left (Captain Morgan)to ward off the winter despondency!!!!!!!!
