If you live in the north island and your plans involve going outside I'd cancel them.

 

Check out this from www.metservice.co.nz:

MAJOR STORM EXPECTED TO AFFECT MUCH OF THE NORTH ISLAND THIS WEEKEND A low is crossing the north Tasman Sea today and is expected to deepen rapidly as it approaches northern New Zealand Saturday morning.The unusually intense low is forecast to move over Cape Reinga late Saturday afternoon then track southeastwards to lie near the Coromandel Peninsula at midnight and near East Cape midday Sunday. A front ahead of the low is expected to bring widespread rain to the North Island by the end of Saturday and gales are likely to affect most parts of the North Island. The heaviest rain should be in Northland,northern Auckland, the Coromandel Peninsula, Gisborne and Hawkes Bay ranges and these areas streams and rivers could rise quickly along with some surface flooding.East to southeast gales may affect many parts of the North Island with strongest winds gusting to around 120 km/h in parts of Northland,Auckland,Coromandel Peninsula, Waikato, eastern Bay of Plenty,Gisborne, the central North Island,Manawatu and Wellington.MetService advises the public that winds of this strength have the potential to cause damage and make driving hazardous.Boaties are advised to make moorings secure as high winds and large waves are likely about northern and eastern coasts of the North Island.

Shhhh my in laws are bringing us up a trailer load of firewood and we really need it.

I would also expect we will be in for snow here, we just had some snow flurries so hopefully we will.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

Hopefully same with my DH's soccer game, Roksana, even though I don't live in the Nth Island it's still bound to be crap. It is Dunedin, after all

Wow that was good organising of you guys Gen. I am so jealous that you have a big group up there to study with.
