Have you ever seen "dull" used in the weather forecast? I've heard it twice today.

From the front page of the paper today:
"La Nina is tightening its grip on New Zealand and promising more dull, drizzly weather for the rest of the year."

Really, the rest of the year? It's only June.

Also relevant to my previous post, this article said that Highway 75 to Akaroa was closed on Sunday afternoon due to mud slides and trees on the road from the heavy rain, and it didn't re-open until Monday morning. It's a good thing we took the treacherous, gravel road home, or else we might have been stuck in Akaroa for the night.
