Nothing but a very light dusting up here, temperature has risen, if anything, to -5C.

Pretty fucking glad I'll never see any in Auckland.
Mostly because;
A. We already have enough shit drivers during summer on dry roads
B. That shit is fucking cold and melts, has a very low friction coefficient and my choke lever is broken. Was hard enough bump-starting the poor bitch this morning :love:

First time we have had snow fall here in 8 years, Sounds about right. When we lived there we reckoned it snowed about every 7 years.

No red, green or orange zones in Christchurch today all white!
Snow day off work. Fun with the kids outside and catching up on my bike magazines in front of the log-burner :yes:
