Well it looks like we may get our first snowfall of winter in the coming days.
I'm getting a tad tired of lugging in firewood each night.
I'd say 'roll on summer' but then again I'm not sure I want to deal with any future heat-waves either ;-)

It is really wierd reading this and understanding NZ is so far away, yet so close for a message. :)

Here in Florida, it was 99 yesterday, Hot and very humid.
I always forget that you and Australia are on the "opposite" side of the Planet and while it is scorching here, it is snowing there :)
Post pix so we can see!!!
I guess the north has gotten tired of taking all the light away, so is
now handing some back.
But I'll enjoy the almost 10p sunsets while I can. Though, sadly, I'll head to California, soon, where I'll doubtlessly get to enjoy 40C+ temperatures in short bursts when going from air-conditioned place to air-conditioned place.
What's neat about it, is that Avon lives in _the future_.

at one point there were a LOT of new zealanders on the internet, relatively speaking.

I tried this week (39 million in the Power Ball) and I only won a lousy bonus ticket hehheheh...
yes I sort of feel the same way, I jumped on a CBS news app today at lunchtime and saw stories about smoke from Canada, heatwaves etc. and
from over here it's very foreign.
Tonight it's getting down to around 2-3 degrees Celsius and I need to go and lung in about 4 baskets full of firewood soon. :)

we just passed the shortest day over here, I'm getting tired of going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark... so yeah roll on Summer
aka December.

Avon, a lottery winner!
Spending a lot more time with all of the windows closed in the house and the AC turned on. Had quite a bit of rain late last week, now I need to find a less smoky day so I can go out & mow the lawn.
We'll remind you about the snow in December, when we all get to expect Santa getting in through the chimney! :>
I can bet you'll enjoy the abstraction of the firewood logs dragged home like we do now in Northern Hemisphere! :>
Just kidding ofz.. funny to see how diverse our planet it, at the reach
of a single message.
well I got to chat with folks around the globe via this network so I'm calling that a win :)I tried this week (39 million in the Power Ball) and I only won bonus ticket hehheheh...Avon, a lottery winner!

I love snow, for a moment or where I spend dedicated time to experience it, somewhere, high mountains. But, I'm so much summer guy that it's fucked up crazy to realize down under, you guys actually have winter
now!
The only thing I can think of that comes close was a bunch of wildfires
in Australia and smoke from those fires blew across the Tasman sea and
came across New Zealand. We had days of weird coloured skies etc..
You guys had it easy... Parts of Aus had it for weeks!...
I live on the California coast - I can see the Pacific Ocean out my windows facing west. More snow that I could manage is available 4 hours away near lake Tahoe - this winter we had 13-15 foot snowpacks.

Fair enough, yes we've been fortunate over here (so far) to have not
really had many fire / dryness related events. With the change to El
Nina?? I expect this may change in the coming years :(
what's worse is that the smell hangs around for weeks even after the bush fire has come and gone.... This is from personal experiance. #0(

Canada and, by proximity, the US have been dealing with smoke off and
I don't complain too much about it, though, because at least we are not the ones on fire. I feel for Canada.
