Who would have wanted to be a passenger on the Interislander yesterday before gale force southerlies and huge swells forced sailings to be cancelled?
We copped a battering from the wind from early afternoon through until early this morning with gusts of over 100km/h recorded in Wanganui. And a number of our Taranaki friends awoke to cold, dark homes this morning with widespread power outages after even stronger gales last night.
Things have calmed down a little this morning, but it's still bitterly cold. The North Island skifields will be smiling though, with a huge dump of snow over the weekend just in time for the school holidays. Whatever the weather, someone is happy about it!
