Right. So I woke up yesterday morning to something rather unusual.

(yeah, our camera is crap)
Timaru was completely cut off due to the level of snow, there was a twister in Greymouth and due to a wire falling up in Auckland, they were without power for most of the day. (fortunately, wasn't snowing there). The Christchurch PolyTech (where David was supposed to be giving a final exam) was also closed, due to half the teachers not showing up.
Our internet was knocked out (hence, my not being online), so we called it a Snow Day and got some sewing done. The kitchen now has new curtains and hopefully the room will now stay warmer.
... and as I'm writing this, it starts to hail outside. Just tiny ones....
-is a bit of a mind bendy for me, I haven't lived anywhere where there's been snow since I was three. ^^;; And now there's all this cold white stuff...
[Edit: For the SCA-folks... the Queen of Lochac just sent an e-mail asking if NZ was still there... *laughs*]

Anyway, snow is cool! You should make the most of it!

But the next time it does snow, I will make a snow angel! XD
