Port Robinson 4.10pm
Been an eventfuul day for me. Left ChCh for home at 8.15am and got there at 11.30am (usually a 90min trip). Truck off the road at the Omihi saddle which held us up on the side of the road for an hour. 70-70kmh most of the way through thick snow. 3 hour power cut soon after arriving, and the emergency generator which I test every couple of months refused to start. Murphy grinning from on high. Snow starting to melt. This is the third year in a row we've had snow . Used to be a 1 in 20 year event. I am a global warming sceptic!!
Temperature is 3.4° after reaching the heady heights of 4.4°. Sleeting at the moment.
