    Nothing like it apparently. I wasn't here so I don't know.

    Ben, you must be bored

    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    I went back down there on holiday just as the 92 dump landed and it was the biggest I have ever seen especially out on the Peninsula towards Akaroa. Not sure how it compares to today the locals will have to tell us that.

    I dont think its really that bad now,but i havent seen what the hills are like yet. although it was pretty bad driving around this morning.
    I also must have counted about 4 bikers in my travels this morning. In full blizzard conditions.

    Looking at the webcams it's not as bad.

    In the 92 one I had to dig 2 feet of snow from the front of the garage so I could get the car out. That was a wild drive let me tell you. I went to my parents and was the first loon to drive most streets. Had to stop partway down their driveway as the powerline was down and in the middle of the road. That explained why I couldn't ring them. The board that had power/phone joining the house had ripped off. I spent the rest of the day folding sheets at the hotel where my girlfriend (now wife) worked. At least it was warm with all the industrial dryers going flat out.
