Last night we heard rumors that a snow was planned for the Christchurch area. Not that it hasn't happened before, in winter 2011 Christchurch got the most snow since 1992 with 30 cm. Now... this is no Boston Nor'easter which could dump 30 cm an hour, however, snow is a big deal to Christchurch. With no proper snow removal equipment and many earthquake damaged roads, the conditions were slightly concerning. Today between
10-18 cm of snow fell in the region. Here are some photos of our area, Sumner Beach.
It's amazing how a little snow can shut a place down. Stay safe and I hope you got your snow day!
ReplyDeleteWow, not what one usually thinks of when you say "South Pacific." Mostly you have to watch out for the other drivers who don't know how to drive in snow.
