    Its Snowing in CHCH

    I believe it worse out Rangiora way (Biff, Dangerous and Rashika) but I was lucky enough to get someone to pick me up for work otherwise I would have been on the bike.

    Has anyone ridden in snow before? Whats it like?

    It's only a problem when you can't see road markings, signs kerbs etc - and it doesn't look too bad in those pics.

    Well, I have to say - christchurch bikers are poofy wimps.

    Took the bike out for a ride this morning, got to tech for a class - only one other biker there. Had a quick ride around to see what the rest of the city center was like. Did I see any other bikes on the road - no. Poofs the lot of em

    Its only a foot deep.

    Rain has kicked in heavy now, so will all probably be gone by a little after lunch. Also a bit of lightning.
