Ok, so it's been snowing in the main street of Pukekohe this morning, and the lovely Mrs Headroom tells me that it's snowing at home (Meremere). To say that this is an unusual event would be an understatement. Anyone else experiencing weird weather?
Here at Higbrook the IT centre of NZ, high winds that took out a fence and 5 degrees. Dubbie was blown around on the bridge.
Day off because of the snow but we normally get at least one a year
Yeah, there were a few road signs leaning at odd angles on the Waikato Expressway this morning on the way to work, due to the fearsome winds we copped last night down here too.
the immigration broshures i was shown prior to settling here have quoted Auckland having a "mild subtropical climate"
They lied, Psy. They would get no interest if it was advertised as the " Arsehole of the Pacific". Creative license is everything. 3kph wind here and snowing again. 1.3 outside.
I saw, and felt, snow falling this afternoon in the middle of Auckland CBD
Arsehole of the Pacific". Thats from the 70's and all the Poms came here. Now its advetised in China as " your home away from home"
Snowed on the way home tonight in Balmy Palmy. Kids are out throwing snow balls at each other.
I saw that big bank of dark cloud heading our way before lunch,but it missed us,and that must be what hit Pukekohe and Auckland,coming from the S/W. We saw some snow,but it melted as soon as it hit the ground....and saw the new word,graupel - it was falling like snow,but hit the ground as tiny hail.
Anyone heard from Dodgy or is the Niake Guzzi haven under several feet of snow ... the muffled sounds of Vtwins idling in the darkness as he cuddles the spread cylinder heads to prevent hypothermia.
Dodgy texted me...his tongue was stuck to the Ambo block......probably free by now...
building site closed today because when the storm hit all the new roofing iron came loose smashing all over the place
Yes I managed to free my 'tongue' from the Ambo block, thanks. It was wild alright. Standing on the ridge with snow flakes swirling around... kept checking the tiny coal range every 5 minutes last night to see if I could possibly jam some more fuel in it.
I'm still jamming wood into my fire! You thawing out, out in the wop wops Dodgy?
