Lived up in Newlands when i first moved to Wellington,never saw any snow though.Plenty of wind n rain but.Had a particuly nasty accident on a TT500 when off to Jville one day,down the hill lights were green so through hanging a right i went untilsome fuck ran a red coming down the hill and took me out big time.

Hey Trudes,I have watching the snow/hail most of the day,kind of weird really!!

Yer but if you moved 2 houses up the hill you would have to put an aircraft warning beacon light on the roof.
If the snows too thick on the roof , dont go outside and clear it , the jet wash from the 737s on takeoff will sort it for you.

Yep I'm very excited, we've got snow here on Mt Ruskin!!! Well it's bloody cold enough! Have to say I don't envy my cousin and all those other mad buggers who were at the Brass Monkey!!!

I was born in Newlands (who needs a hospital lol) and it wasnt long after the Wahine storm i remember snow covering all of Steward Drive and the Belmont school flat area.
The Chook farm around the way lost a bunch of chooks in the freezing cold .It must have been about 1970ish.

That's too kind I wish I was 23 again.... and know what I know now!
Got send photos from the man's family in Gisborne.... it snowed in Matawai and they had pics of them playing in the snow... and my excuse for the excitement was going to be that I grew up in Gisborne where it never snowed!!
