@mrcompletely That's exactly how it is where I live. Even if the otherwise reliable forecast says it'll be fine when there's anything astronomical happening, you can bet all your money it'll cloud over just in time.

@quixote I've heard that parts of NZ are very like the US Pacific Northwest, in terrain and climate. Overall I love it, but there are moments it's a bit much.

@mrcompletely The lake is really beautiful so it wasn’t a wasted trip.
