Weather bomb

While most peoples eyes are glued to the World Cup while they sip on an icy beverage in shorts and t's, we, here in little NZ, are freezing out tits off. We have had a couple of 'weather bombs' head our way producing the most snow in 25 years (and this isn't really winter) and they say next week is "going to be shit". If you live in the northern hemisphere and need cooling off have a look at this. Some places have been without power for 5 days now. Not the big smoke of Chch though. Good news for the skifields; Mt Hutt and Mt Dobson are open for action (assuming they can open the access roads that is). For now all the news is football and weather, if you don't get used to it you never will.
