Each day that I read the weather forecast here, I have wanted to share it on the blog. Maybe because we came from the land of 'no weather' that is called California, the weather here has been a bit of a shock.
To give you a glimpse of what happens around here meteorologically, here is an excerpt of today's "Situation" (don't you like how they call it, too?) from the Otago Daily Times.
"A ridge of high pressure slowly pushes onto the South Island while a low over the central Tasman Sea extends a warm front over western areas of the North Island and moves slowly south. Fronts east of the country move away to the northeast. A low approaching from the Tasman Sea crosses the South Island tomorrow night. A southwest flow then gradually spreads over New Zealand on Thursday and persists on Friday and Saturday, with several fronts passing over the south of the South Island."
In short, today, we are going to have some 'fine spells' (beautiful sunny day), and the next few days ... well, who knows!

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, and your adventure. It is conjuring up memories in my own mind, and reminding me of the tendencies/habits that I brought back to the US with me! One thing that is hard to shake, regardless of the consistent weather we have in CA, is the urge to take advantage of the sun when it is out! I am sure you have adopted this one pretty quickly. Just think of how much more you appreciate the sunny days now than you did before - a gift!
Nicole - Yes, indeed! We take the Kiwi's advice of "make the most of it" quite literally here! We have had a nice stretch of weather the last few weeks. March is supposed to be more unsettled. We now know what that means!
