Winter?

Well, maybe a bit premature but it's not nice out today. We've had 3 inches of rain in about 24 hours. It's not cold but it sure is windy and it can't be as bad as it is for people in Haumoana, along the coast, they've got a high tide any minute now and flooding rivers. Some have been evacuated so I guess it's pretty wet there. Seems to have been a pretty exciting but unwanted start to 2011, hope it doesn't escalate! Had a small 4.5 quake last night about 8 or 10 seconds long but time is relative and it seemed like a long time waiting for it to end.
Got Lucy's kids staying while she does a photo shoot in the outdoors. The Outdoors? Yep, not sure where but it's got to be wet! Looks like a good afternoon for playing games.
