Its Snowing in CHCH

[White trash]

Probably no fun riding with double disc back brakes.

Wouldn't mind seeing one of them fandangled contraptions.

I think the weather predictions were for this snow dump to be worse than the 92 lot, but must admit seems unlikely now. But we've closed for the day at work about 1.30 (err just when the snow stopped and it started clearing) but apparently theres another dump on its way with high winds as well. Dunno if going to work tomorrow or not?

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

Saw something similiar too, what happens is they have the windscreen clear, but when they stop at the lights a bit too quickly, the lump of snow on their roof slides onto the windscreen, leaving them looking puzzled as what to do next!

& another example. I was going along between hagley park near the hospital this morning & a red bus was coming the oppersite direction.He was going way fast for the conditions,all i could see was a tidal wave of snow & slush coming at me.then wack...I couldnt see sh..t ,had to hit the brakes and try to find the wipers.( i wasnt in my car ).

stupid bus drivers think they own bloody road sometimes.

I like watching the 4-wheel-drive people speeding because they think they have more traction. Only to discover that snow on a bitumen surface works like ice. Just because it works off road in a mud-puddle, doesnt mean it works in the city. Saw two of em slide into the gutters today. Plonkers.

Noticed all the 2-wheel-drive vehicles taking it slowly - so they are not all total idiots.

[dangerous]

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,

Were the hell were you, by 7:30 3km from town (it was lighter in town) there was a easy 50mm of snow covering.... take a look at the pic of my 4x4 Rashika posted that was taken at 8:30am, ya country bumkin

What a fuking load a crap man...... yeah the odd twit in a 4x4 thinks hes bullet proof, but thats just the odd Fendalton tractor owner and they were all tucked up in there mantions all day..... fuk man most idiots I saw were "NOT" in 4x4's.... give it a rest
BTW snow has good traction..... water or ice on 'bitumen'
however duh, is like ice

How the fuck would you know, you didn't even know it'd snowed until I txt you about 8.30am cause you were still in bed, it was heavier in Chch then Rangiora

7.30 I was in Marshlands road and it was only just starting to settle and there was fuck all of it about

yeah in my travels this morning,I went by a Hummer cruising around. & thought that this is the one day of the year when its not totally unreasonable to own a hummer.

8:30? 8:30? who but dead and very sick people or those who live alone are in bed at that time????

What's with you Ch-ch people???

What a great day. It was still snowing this morning and here at the airport its gorgeous.

[Biff]

So Christchurch ground to a halt, bus services were suspended, schools closed - and all because of a little snow. Poofdas.

Yep Sniper - it was worse in Rangoon than in ChCh by about 10zm - but it was still just a smattering of snow compared to back home.

It made me wonder how much panic would set in if we were to have really heavy snow.

As for riding in the snow - that doesnt make you hard - it makes you stupid, if you've got a choice.
