Yip coming home from work tonight lost feeling in toes and fingers.Thought you couldn't get frostbite in Auckland.Sitting by the heater now defrosting,time to break out the thermals.Glad I don't live any further South.

i use to live in wellington and this is so much like down there might be a case of sleeping in tomorrow morning

There are cars falling off the road every other night down here due to ice - you don't know you're born ya big soft Jessie!!

(Although I admit I parked my jandals for the winter a couple of weeks ago)


But yeah, winter sucks I guess but the way I look at it is that you appreciate summer all the more. (when we get a summer)

3 of my 4 rides to work this week were at -7 ( I normally don't ride when its colder than -6) so last night I took the cage, and it turned out to be bloody tropical at 0 degrees.

Just had a friends round for a barbie, beautiful sky, chilly but clean and clear on the North Shore. Was out today, cold fingers but what a day!!!!!

Chores aside tomorrow for more of the same.

This is global warming lads. The Greens were right. Repent, or we will all be damned to a life of increasing temp..... oh, hang on. Bollocks.

Beautiful day here yesterday - not quite shorts and jandals weather but tee-shirts were the order of the day! It didn't rain until late last night so no frost this morning. Heaps of snow on the ranges but not too bad here today either, albeit a tad cool.

Rode up to Manf at 6:30am from Welly. The frosts on the side of the road justified the numbness in my toes and fingers. Heated hand grips that had burnt my hands on other occasions were not doing their job at all yesterday morning. VFC!!!

It was -4 this morning when I left for work

Too much for my body to handle... the bloody heat pump at home stopped working because it was too cold... so much use that damn thing is...

[Jantar]

An 8 degree frost here today. Its just climbed above zero about 30 minutes ago and looking like a beautiful day. I might just for a ride around the block this afternoon.

I did the kapiti-akl-kapiti trek over the weekend via the desert road. I had full marino thermals on, three pairs of socks, singlet, long sleeved t-shirt, jersey, sleevless fleece, leather jacket, lined cordura pants, wet wether jacket, double fleece neck warmer, wool glove inserts AND I STILL FELT THE COLD! All my northern english breeding has escaped this jessies bones I'm afraid, although I guess the target was still achieved and I still enjoyed the ride.
