This winter thing is hectic - its like only 21 degrees here in Durban in the SW is gunning at an almighty 7km/h.

Gotta luv Durbs :eusa_dance: :eusa_dance: :eusa_dance:

Let me start.

Not so much of liking Josvanheerden right now.

Wind is screaming outside - just ripped part of the roof of a little junior school across from the parking lot where I'm working

We've been enjoying an Indian summer on the Border for the past week.

Complete turnaround predicted from tomorrow and for the rest of next week. Also wanted to try out my new fishin' pole - so much for that theory :eusa_wall:

Hmmm Pitching practice this weekend methinks

If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend it's whole life believing its stupid!

It is bucketing down in Cape Town at the moment. I think we are going to see serious high water at Rietvlei close the Tableview area.

Quite a few roads have been flooded already and on they way home there was a lot of standing water so one had to take it very easy...

...not much fishing available I'm afraid...

Wonder if poortjieskloof dam is a option?

Part 3...

Actually, the main front has moved off to the SE of the country, just out of the picture below. But as you were all incorrectly taught at school, the front doesn't bring rain. The back of the front brings rain actually, hence the rain in the WC once the front passes as in this case. Any guesses why?

and with wind

2 reasons - the air after a front is colder and dryer that before the front. Also, the wind switches after the front and in our case thats north westish no? Something like that....

I would say warmer air with moisture in front of the cold front rises and clouds from which cause rain behind the cold front because of the cooler air behind.
