[sil3nt]

Snowing pretty much everywhere. Hits the ground and melts though so not that exciting.

[hayd3n]

That Mongolian death worm looks lost.

[slofox]

To the best of my knowledge, The Tron remains snowless. There was a fair sprinkling on the local Maunga this morning though.

I've never seen snow here ever.

[nathanwhite]

Had a debate whether it was snow or hail. Most said hail, but there were definitely were snowflakes floating around. No-one else saw it though.

[nodrog]

Um no, it was snow, hail doesnt float down, there was hail too but that was at a different time. get with the programme.

[Wannabiker]

Well I was one of the ones stranded on the Rimutakas last night....244742

[huff3r]

It snowed in hamilton.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/waikato-times/news/5447294/Snow-in-Hamilton


Yeah, i'm somewhat skeptical about that. I was pre-flighting a Cessna when it "snowed" at Hamilton Airport. I tell ya what, thats the bounciest snow I've ever seen. And falling bloody quick too!

[MisterD]

That was hail ya pecker

Word of the day is graupel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graupel)...which is that stuff that looks like the polystyrene balls you put in "beanbags".

Yeah, new on me too, wonder if it's one of the 300 words for snow that the Lapps have?

[slofox]

And how many of them Rime with graupel.

This global warming is such a bastard.

I have wandered around today at work with bare arms, quite enjoying the cold to be honest. Saw a bit of sleet on my way to work this morning, but it has been clear and fine since. Wind is friggen COLD though, Brrrrr.

There have been reports of snow in Warkworth of all places. The son of a woman I work with text her to say it was snowing where he was (on a farm just out of town) Pity it does not stick up here, nothing, but nothing beats freshly fallen snow to play in.

Cool pic,at first i thought "shit someones stolen my ute':shit:Pretty bad down here,if its not snowing it bloody hailing,

[Mom]

We got woken up last night, well I should rephrase that actually. I woke up shrieking last night with the loudest clap of thunder I have ever heard. It had to have been directly over head, and was followed by the most intense rain.

I am a storm lover, have been known to get up and watch storms, go walking in them, that type of idiot.

I am glad though the wind appears to have dropped, it stops our gas heating flue from working properly and the thing goes into safety mode :baby:

Keep warm down there you lot. Make me a snow angel and post up the piccys.

[Flip]

From everybody down here,

[crystalball]

It was the wind this morning that made me a little nervous. :shit:

[98tls]

This morning i had a covered car port in front of the garage,this evening i come home from work to find it:shit:missing the cover.:confused:Bloody strong winds at times down here.At the moment still as a churchmouse and snowing.Sick of it.

[Oakie]

It's hell up here! Gonna be a fun ride home

You not have chains like we do down here?

I did get caught in snow once. I finished up riding dead straight and then when I had to change direction would stop and then VERY slowly and smoothly point myself in the new direction and then move off. I'm thinking I'll be off work again tomorrow but perhaps be on the good old 'one wheel drive' and try to get in on Wednesday afternoon.

[scumdog]

Hell, if I had known how excited you Norfeylanders get over a bit of snow I'd have swept my drive clean and sent it up to ya!:shit:

Snowing again right now -ya want some fresh stuff?

[Blackshear]

Don't care, was hailing when I left for work, was hailing when I went home.
Hmmm, visual impairment via condensations or frozen rain...
Still prefer it over peak summer any day.
Fuck summer.

[jazfender]

you guys gotta understand that it ain't news until it happens in Auckland...

[Grasshopperus]

Not even snow wants to stop at Hamilton.

[Berries]

Not even snow wants to stop at Hamilton.
Nah, it's because Auckland sucks.

Apart from the snow angel. I recognise her from somewhere............

[007XX]

Ok, I feel ripped off now... They said more snow was in store but it's looking very clear up here now. Still cold but no more snow in sight :no:

But yeah, I'z a snow bunny and what was falling in my backyard yesterday was definitely snow.

I WANT MORE DAMMIT!!!!

[Big Dave]

[Banditbandit]

Harden up ...

[Big Dave]

Harden up ...

I've ridden three different bikes this morning - how many have you, hmmmmm?

[allycatz]

Cars got completely covered at work last night here in Kapiti....couple of the residents were crying watching it fall. I think they never expected to see it again

[willytheekid]

"Snowing in Auckland"

:facepalm:

Christ sake! To quote a mate of mine-(that summed it up perfectly)

"if Aucklander's can get a 2.9 earthquake and know what its like to live in Chch, then with the snow there getting, they must know what its like to live in Scott Base."

:killingme

.....Get back to ya latte's!

Can someone translate this from Yokel for me?

[jasonu]

Yep it graupled a bit here in Otara too.
I knew this plow would come in handy sooner or later...

got to love the dogs,

so now that you have taken the picture, you play?

[far queue]

I got sick of shoveling the paths clear today so went for wee look around the neighbourhood. I haven't played in the park for years ...

[blue rider]

I am green with envie, I really am....

[FJRider]

I believe he has little empathy for the plight of Aucklanders ... in their hours of suffering in extreme cold ... with their now full understanding of the plight of Christchurch residents ... after the recent 2.9 ... <_<

[Mom]

I will have you know we got down to 1 over night last night, AND we had ice on our deck :shit: Will be even colder tonight as we have clear skies <_< This in a place that sees maybe 2 frosts every couple of years or so :killingme:

Oh, oh, and when it is windy it prevents our flued gas fired heating to cool down properly and it goes onto "safety mode". It is simply not possible to heat anything on a pilot light :laugh: BRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Still, we get to go to bed early and cuddle up to keep warm :o

That is real winter for us little hot house, coddled north of Aucklanders :yes:

I hate the fact I am now part of the SuperShitty!

[Flip]

There is only one thing those bloody Aucklanders need to know about snow;

Meh.
If you had any gumption you'd be riding in them.

[jazfender]

Fuck, when did the South Island get the internet?!

[98tls]

Those webbed feet would be handy in the snow eh:confused::laugh:

[FJRider]

Meh.

Likewise Shrek when he called in yesterday, chickened out myself going to work on me mountainbike this morning, wore water-proof leggings..

[Wiki Drifter]

Had my decaf frappuccino sitting at an outdoor table in Mission Bay today. If it weren't for my silk lined lambskin gloves I surely would've suffered from frostbite. <_<

[Berries]

From Scott Base by the feel of it.

[Big Dave]

From Scott Base by the feel of it.

Returned the Z1000SX test bike to the KR Office, delivered a new Multistrada from there back to Haldanes - the long way - and picked up the new GSR 750 while there.

Cold but interesting day.

[Brian d marge]

300mm ,,,,errmm yes well

Oi you two, it is MINUS 1 here at the moment, the waaaambulance cant get through it is too cold <_<

[Grumph]

Oi you two, it is MINUS 1 here at the moment, the waaaambulance cant get through it is too cold <_<

That'd be unexplored territory for your thermometers surely...

I could wade through the snow to the workshop...but why ?

Getting a little low on supplies too - the cats and dogs are starting to eye us up with a look I don't understand....

[007XX]

Oh for Christ's sake children! Would you all just all play nice for once?

When you're not all bitching about the Aussies pinching horses, baking, war heroes from you, you then turn on the South africans, or the Poms, and then well, there's the Yankees...

But NOW, you're all bitching between yourselves about how much bigger the pile of snow is on the other island :thud:

Southies: we got the better lattes, get used to it :shake: and if we want to brag about our little shake and about a spattering of the white stuff it's cos it's UNUSUAL in our neck of the woods alright? Let us have this much you superioristic yokels :love:









ok, gotta go now :bleh::chase:

[Dodgy_Matt]

I did like the Campbell Live segment when the reporter was in Christchurch and had found a Tee shirt that said "I survived the Great Auckland Earthquake and Snow storm of 2011"
