I have to admit, I hope we get quite a lot. last time we did a few friends and I went snow boarding on the westwood. Never thought it possible until we tried it  :laugh:

Although it does seem to cause chaos on the transport network.

Sorry to be a killjoy, but I hope we don't get snow. For some of us it's very bad for business  :(

And so it begins alright, took the dog for a walk last night after a top temp of 38C, the heat from the footpath and roads was unbelievable, no breeze and it was like walking into an oven, that was up North where I live, down South in Victoria the Alps got snow lucky ducks.

Had a very severe Thunderstorm pass through Auckland today, flash flooding and all sorts of dramas at hand. Hobsonville and Whenuapai - both outer suburbs of Auckland out West were struck by a Tornado that has left 3 dead, 7 injured last count and about 300 homeless.

I was totally unaware of the chaos I was heading towards when I was sent out with a pair of Light Locomotives to rescue an SA set with a loco suffering Ground Relays - I found some flash flooding and got soaked when coupling up, thankfully didn't go past Henderson but had no idea I was heading towards a Tornado.

Not a good day  :(
