Six days of gales for Hawke's Bay

Where I live, Hawkes Bay is set for more bad weather.

Gale force winds are set to lash Hawke's Bay for up to six days, with police warning people to take extreme care
while travelling during Easter.

WeatherWatch head analyst Philip Duncan said relentless gale-force winds would affect the Bay, Waikato, East Coast
and Gisborne.

The wild winds are being brought in by tropical storms connected to those hitting Fiji.

Heavy rain could cut off towns in already sodden areas of East Cape, while coastal communities could be affected by
huge swells.

I must pop over there again in my Cessna 150, and have a peek around...

A nice part of NZ...!

If you come in your C150 I could take you for a meal out in the Village*. The Loading Ramp is particularly good. ;)

And maybe go for a drive to look at the spectacular views from Te Mata Peak.

...would you believe, it tried to snow in my back garden, this morning!
The Barometric Pressure is dropping rapidly, and the temp outside is now 4*C.

Actually...I suspect that everything is ..."Normal"... for the time of year!

Paul.... 8-)...!
