snow is nothing knew to most of you lot im sure, but two things

1: ive NEVER seen snow before. yes yes, deprived childhood and what not, blah blah..
2: it does NOT SNOW HERE. sometimes a bit of hale buildup, and we've had some pretty nasty frost once or twice, but NOT SNOW. not here. not where i live. where the fuck is this global warming shit ive been hearing about? Very Happy

shit, what an experience. ive never felt snow before, its a completely new thing for me. beaned a kid in the head with a snowball.

took pictures, no idea if they turned out ok... i dont have a flash, and its like 6pm here so they might be a bit dark. tried my best to overexpose the images, so we'll see how they turn out.

fucking wow Very Happy


oh and cartoon, when you get back from taking pictures - pretty sure you are right at this moment - post em here. would love to see welly in the snow.

snow in new zealand

i'm happy for you chiv. LOL

i bet most of the ppl down there are afraid of going out with their cars cuz of the snow and frost and stay locked in their houses. Laughing
at least that's what happens in Crete, Greece. - another place that doesn't see snow so often. Laughing

just for a bit of context... a week or so ago, it was "really cold" here, and i was ASTONISHED at all that SNOW i could see on the horizon!!



so looking out the window to see this, was just totally surreal...





and yes.. the cat was dragged out to enjoy the fun Wink picture quality is crap because it was really dark in those areas

yeah we do have snow in certain spots in NZ, but the thing is, the city where i live doesnt get snow which is why this is so bizarre... the weather is usually quite mild ALL year round here...

aww he's like the fuck is this!? Razz

I still remember when my cat went outside and saw the snow for the first time, she stared at the "panorama" for some seconds and then went back inside the house, sitting near the the bonfire with her typical *no fuck given* attitude Laughing

Doesn't look like usable snow, ie. it's too sludgy and too little of it to have fun with (except throwing snowballs). You need 10-15cm at -5 to really have fun. But somehow I doubt sledges, skis and the other paraphernalia the rest of us are used to.

I had something like this:




ooooooooooooooooooooooh... while looking for pictures of a snow racer I found these:



I want... + snow and loooong hills.. Then it's bump-car racing... Very Happy
