Rogue Nor'wester

In summer the nor'west wind is generally hot and dusty, but not always. If it is suddenly bitterly cold I know that something nasty is happening in the mountains. This morning I had to wear a padded jacket to hang out my washing. When the clouds lifted I saw why. Large

Last night was rather rocky. If the 'quakes were waking me so far away it must have been very unsettling in Christchurch.
