Thread: Bugger the rain

Soaked through to the bones down here in Christchurch and has definitely put an end to any mid week plans. How's everyone else getting on?

mud, mud and more mud, with some new streams in between.

Torrential rain in the north for what seems like forever. Break today though, but still quite windy, so no fishing

Been on Banks Peninsula for 30 years
It's been a lot wetter than this at times

But the whole month of July has been wet and three storms thrown in
So it's 100% saturated and now causing real issues
Highest rainfall for July in recorded history

It's a good thing I have plenty of fun gun projects in the workshop

We've been smashed here on the Coromandel. Lots of slips and a bit of flooding. Powers been off at my place for two days.

Our chooks are developing webbed feet and I’m thinking of planting rice on the what used to be the lawn.

Ankle deep in water for a few days down the back of my place. Well over the rain now

all those "quality" cold asphalt patches used around christchurch have floated off, its like driving thru craters now..................just hope those bloody cycle lanes got the same treatment

We've had over 300mls this month - not good for the septic tank or animals

this is our Granny flat where the worker lives - his car nearly got swamped so he learnt very quickly to move it to higher ground.

For a second or two I thought this rain thing was focused on the Coast and I was gunna say harden the f*** up...is the world about to end? is the sky falling?

Only light rain here but like everywhere else ground is soaked to the core

Has been raining quietly, steadily in Chch for 24 hours now - wet as hell. No snow in the city yet this year, but it is certainly a very wet winter.

We had plans for winter shooting in Tekapo/McKenzie area, and poss north Canterbury, but heavy snow and continuing rain have stopped everything. Alot of Cantab land waterlogged now and will not drain and be driveable until mid spring.

Best way to catch a bunny right now would be with fishing rod and spoon with bit of lettuce on it...

two days of it here, after the wind and rain last week.
Had quite enough for the moment thank you, but some one needs to tell Zeus.

Nice duck pond and mai mai you have there

It seems to have been 80-100mls every Tuesday for the last three weeks for us !!!

Cant go anywhere in the paddocks without a bloody mess !!

Hoping the winds stay down or trees will be falling all over the place. Soil is saturated !!
