My poor bike has sadly been left at work, neglected and abandoned, but at least it is undercover and undamaged. Just as well one of the other guys from work with a 4WD drove through the snow from Alexandra to Clyde to pick me uo then took me the 10 kms home.

Even though we own a 4WD just for this type of weather, Stromfrau wasn't prepared to come and pick me up. The snow has fallen onto an already frozen road, so its snow on top of ice, and I don't blame for being reluctant to drive in those conditions. There have already been many accidents on the roads around here, and one fatality near Lake Hawea. Most roads in the area are closed, and its still snowing, with the coldest fronts still to arrive.

Must be due to Global warming?

Quite warm this evening. The stars are shining and the wind is picking up

Absolutely 'orrible here most of the afternoon. It's currently pretty miserable, raining with a chilly southerly. Admittedly it isn't quite as cold as it has been recently, but that's not much of a consolation since it's hardly warm. Bloody hell, Central Otago sure got a pounding! Liberally coated with snow and ice - TV3 news did a piece on it at 6pm, it'll probably be shown again on Nightline at 11pm if anyone's interested. Glad you didn't risk taking the VStrom Jantar, that would have been nasty. Even if you'd maintained traction yourself you'd have had a pretty high chance of a car sliding into your path.

My bike's shivering under its cover outside. At least it's not getting soaked through, but it's cold out there! Still... rather it than me!
