Where did Summer Go?

Tomorrow

Saturday 3
Rain, heavy at times, easing to showers in the afternoon. Strong southerlies developing in the morning, gale gusting 100 km/h for a time in exposed places.
Issued: 3:00am 2 Mar (copy of local weather report)
What a summer! The grass hasn't stopped growing (rain), the grapes on the vines are rubbish (rain and low sunshine) the grapes are what they call hen and chickens, that's different sized berries in the bunch = low sugar=poor quality.
I would not like to own a vineyard at this time, it would be nervous breakdown territory, last year the bottom dropped out of the wine market, now this, thankfully we only drink the stuff.
For the past few days there has been an enormous storm brewing over the Tasman Sea, the weather office is now predicting the possibility of a 'weather bomb', that's when things can get very violent, very quickly and have advised all boating people and drivers on the roads to stay at home and watch the TV.. great!
