    Summer/winter

    open the curtains &

    now we get the snow thought it should be here in winter or has summer been put off due to lack of interest?

    I checked the weather map in the paper.

    Yep, I still live in New Zealand.

    (And wouldn't change that for anything.)
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    I even had touches of snow on the road on my way to work this morning. But I have been assured that due to Global Warming snow is now a thing of the past so it must have been my imagination.

    If you don't like the weather down here ... give it an hour or so .... and it'll change again.

    Four seasons in a day is not unusual ...

    And I bet there will be a frost in Central tomorrow morning.

    A few years back ... there was a big frost at the END of November. It wiped out 80% of the Central Otago vineyards crops .. for that season.

    I think there's more to come.

    Mrs Jantar turned our frost fighting pump on at 4:00 am. By 7:00 am it was -3C, and we continued frost fighting untill 08:30 when it finally climbed above 0C.
