Can we go flying??

No - sorry...well maybe...
Today's karput...
Tomorrow might be OK for a while. The front that's passing over at present is forecast to stall and head back down over the top of the Nth Is.
So that'll rule out Thursday and Friday.
Maybe New Years day and the day after.


I'm off to the beach on the 3rd so the chances are getting less by the day.
If it's fine tomorrow we need to finish the silage we started yesterday.

But the big news is it's flooding in Omarama...you know the place where it never rains. They've had about 75mm, but Mt Cook village has had 880mm over the week.
As out intrepid pilots (Roy, Brett and Adrian) head down there they may want to stop to see the Tekapo and Pukaki spillways disgorging huge volumes of water...
I gather they are evacuting the Omarama Camp ground as the Ahuriri rises and rises...any more and it'll threaten the main bridge.
