OT: Snow, Snow Everywhere! - 06/15/06 01:31 AM
Well,
Monday morning came as a shock here waking up to nearly a foot and a half of snow on the ground.
The local electricity system took a real hiding with power being lost to all of Ashburton for most of the day.
Some parts of Mid-Canterbury are still without power and some parts of South Canterbury have no water, power or phones.
I didn't like reading on the Net this morning that more snow is heading this way, this weekend.
I just hope it rains instead.
Kiwi,
How much snow did you guys in Christchurch get?.
You can't get a word in edgeways on the local Power Board operations radio channel at the moment, there's line clearances and isolation messages flying backwards and forwards like there's no tomorrow!.
