Snow Flurries


Poor lemon tree- the lemons are just getting ripe

This wouldn't be that exciting if it was Saskatoon- but it's not- it's Christchurch and it only snows one or two days of the year. (Last year, it didn't snow at all). A cold southerly wind dropped the temperatures to -9 C at night and they will reach only a high of +5 C today (the coldest weather event in 16 years- and it has hit the whole country). I was getting ready to bike to the university but I decided to check my email first only to find out that the university will be closed all day. (In the event of snow, apparently most of the city shuts down!) It won't last long though- it's supposed to go up to +12 C tomorrow.

  1. OH My ----That seems a "joke" to us who live through that kind of snow (& more ) for 6 months of the yr.
    Love You

  2. That's a lot of snow for place that doesn't get snow. Thank goodness you have a heat pump, I feel bad for all the kiwis that don't, and there are a lot of them.
