I spent a couple of days in Nelson and Blenheim last week. 23 degrees when we landed in Blenheim. Cooled to about 4 degrees overnight, but it was calm and clear. Running past the vineyards in the morning there was a touch of fog around, and I soon overheated in the sunlight with my thermal on. Later that same day in Nelson I could hear cicadas!! See, they think it's still summery.

The MetService long range forecast is as follows for Ruapehu region. Lets see what eventuates later in the week. Freezing level 2400 on Friday means we might see some snow action round the top lifts down to the base area, 1700 on Saturday means we might see some action round the base areas..... ??
