Even the BOP can get a Cold Front...

Normally for those of us fortunate enough to live in the Bay of Plenty (emphasis on the "Plenty" bit...) we experience weather changes as a slow, mushy, indiscriminate flop from one system to another.

For my sins I once lived in Canterbury (for 4 years)...here the weather arrived as a great roaring, crashing, blundering event at anytime of the day or night. Nor-west winds, rapidly moving cold fronts blowing up the plains with dust, sticks and bits of grass pushed in front, temperature changes from 35 degrees to 14 in an hour...

But once in a while we here in the land of abundance get to see a new system arrive...
This from Bruce...a change from a sea breeze to a SE wind late in the afternoon.

I'm reliably informed the black smudge is the Duo (GXT) electrical system working at it's maximum...that or it's Brett's new Jet powered JS1 running at its economical best...
