BIG BLOW JUST HOT AIR


We wondered about the "Massive storm" headline that graced a few media outlets in the last 24 hours. It was put out by Weatherwatch.co.nz The story didnt indicate anything to be hugely concerned about - just a bloody big storm - not a mega event by any stretch. Now the Metservice has come out and said while a significant event its not of the apocalyptic proportions indicated by weatherwatch.

Its just big in area not in ferocity.

So it will be interesting to see just what the big hunk of sky fluff will actually bring. One thing we are certain of - the shitstorms between the two competing weather forcasting outfits will continue.

Personally we like our forecasts fact based and without boyish enthusiasm for hyperbole.
