snow!

June 12....not even officially winter here yet and it's snowing. Apparently it ususally only snows here every second year or so and rarely this early in the year. Yesterday the weather forecast for Christchurch was "fine" with a high of 10C. The weather website did say that Queenstown (south of here) would have "bone chilling southerlies". All weather here is based on the wind direction which I am slowly but surely figuring out. Southlies means cold wind, although it's weird to think that the further north you go the warmer it gets.
Anyway, so I woke up this morning to white stuff. The ground isn't frozen so it likely won't stay for too long. But it's 11am and it's still snowing. It's a shame that classes are over for the semester otherwise they probably would have been canceled today. I did go to the gym this morning in shorts...probably not the smartest idea! Oh well. It's a good day to study and look outside at the snow. I'm going to a Rotary meeting for lunch today so I need to shower and get ready.

Have a great day!

cheers
