Its Snowing in CHCH

**Rashika** · 19th September 2005, 14:07

Looks interesting out there but nothing like the big snow of '92...THAT was way more exciting...what with no power and all...and having my mum wake me up at 6am to dig her out so she could out on chains and go to work. I was at uni then and enjoying a sleep-in on the holidays.

here a few pics taken about 9 am this morning, in Spreydon...we often get it a little heavier over that way.
Note my wee baby getting a chill...nah she loves it!

Now what is it with schools closing people being sent home from work bloody hell the city grinds to a hault just cos of a bit of white shit on the ground.

Other parts of the world have a shit lot more than 50mm of snow on the ground 6 months of the year.... and nothing changes there life goes on.

Now the dumbest shit I saw this morning (while carrying on as a normal day

) a chick had a full covering of snow over her wind shield and car and was hanging out the drivers window while cornering on Moorhouse ave with one arm out wiping a 100x200mm patch on the windscreen to see out off...... fuk wit

I shit you not

we're having bets at the flat on how long the neighbours gutters will last before they collapse... they got a bit of a bow going on

yes we're bored...

You don't have neons on your scoot?, shit man, I thought if Dangerous has 'em they've got to be cool so I draped them all over the Sporty, NOW I find out you DON'T have them and I'll have to take mine off.!! (might stop the local crop-duster trying to land on me at night too!)

Should have thrown a large-size snow ball through the window of that dozey bitch you saw driving with snow on her 'screen - it couldn't make her drive any worse!

I get the opportunity to do it a few times each year. Such as this morning at 20 to 6 when it started snowing. I happened to be riding back to work.

I quite like riding in snow. Only if it's only once or twice a year though. Good fun challenge. Except this morning because I wasn't wearing my motorbike jacket. So I was cold.

It's like slinging through gravel at speed where your backwheel is spinning too fast for your front wheels liking. If you know you are in control it can be fun. - (I probably need medical attention?)

When I go down hills I litely tap my back brake only. Probably no fun riding with double disc back brakes.

**Rashika** · 19th September 2005, 15:27

me thinks there is more on the way, its got damn dark again.
....and to think yesterday I was contemplating taking my bike out...huh yeah right...i'd have to clean it again

damn I wanna take my bike on a nice day...yet to happen, bugger it all

Not even close, in 92 all the snow was dumped overnight and there was a lot more of it so it was fairly thick trying to drive to work, today it didn't start until about 7.30 so the traffic was already on the road and it wasn't getting a chance to settle with the vehicles driving through it all the time, still it gave me an excuse to go home early

I can see blue sky and sunlight outside so I guess I will have to turn up tomorrow though
