Santa must be close. After some very heavy rain over night, we woke up to a very white Christchurch, with snow still falling. The only problem, idiots who think that driving a 4 wheel drive at speed in snow is ok!
Was going to add some photos, but internet problems are stopping me, as soon as they are back up I will.

Cool, I love snow. Sadly we've only got the rain here. I remember the big snow of 92 in Christchurch, that was real fun. Everything shut down, even the Air Force base and we got the Friday off. Great days.

Ever since I was a kid I have wished that we might have a snowfall in the Waikato, but other than a bit on Mt Maungatautari and other nearby hills we havent had any in recent times - but I beleive that there was a snowfall in the 1920s! Mind you, with the disruption it can cause its probably a good thing it doesnt happen often.....  |
