Gusts of up to 135 kmh blasted the summit of the road connecting Upper Hutt and South Wairarapa making for a hairy crossing for many motorists on Tuesday.
Waka Kotahi issued a warning on Tuesday afternoon via Twitter saying it might close the road at short notice due to high winds, but it remained open.
Regional transport systems manager Mark Owen said they were monitoring conditions on the hill, but the wind did not reach their threshold of consistently reaching gust speeds of over 140 kmh over at least a period of half an hour, which would trigger a closure.

I know spoonbills have featured before but this picture, by Louise Thomas, is just too good not to use. She took it at at Pauatahanui.
Neighjbourly folk here is a bonus Pet of the Day. Strathmore Park resident Juliana Korzo is rightly proud of Jimmy and Frankie, and the picture is just too good not to news.

We love how creative some people are with their plant giving! This is for goodie bags for a 7 year olds party but we reckon you could borrow this wonderful idea for the Neighbours Day Aotearoa Great Plant Swap!
