Hail

We've just had a hail storm go through, going to be great for the apple crop if it's to extensive, the wind stopped this after noon after weeks and then this. Motueka had a thrashing a few weeks ago that broke hail netting supports, who'd want to be making a living with the weather as variable as this.

It doesn't matter where you live there's always some part of your weather thats a pain in ase,i'm lucky here that we dont get big hail,old people that have lived here all there life's say this,frost 12 months of the year is this areas down side though.

I circumnavigated the entire South Island last week for work and the bad weather was everywhere.
When I was in Oamaru on Wednesday afternoon we got a bad hail storm too. I picked a few of them up and they measured 20-25mm.

Now that's hail, glad we didn't get it that size.

Ours was about half that size, which was quite bad enough . I had to go outside during the hailing to clear the gutters that were being blocked by. Hail stings ....
