| Photo taken in Westport - Spring 2024 - how many yellow x can you see to the left on the road? |
Winter has hit here and the brunt of it seems to have come early. We've been here 3 years and so far each Winter we've had dustings of snow on the mountains behind us and bitter temperatures around July/August but we'vve had it this month instead.

This photo I found on Facebook and it's of the fishing area near my work - the mountains in the background are covered with snow as we've had - 2 some nights. We don't get snow in the streets and usually by the afternoon what's on the mountains has melted.

| Arthur's Pass |
This was taken from the Arthur's Pass webcam which sometimes has been closed during the day because of snow and black ice so as Porter's Pass and Springfield etc. For the last 2 days it's been quite mild but then we are going to be back to the cold tonight.
We had a 2nd load of firewood delivered, the last lot I organized for us in March as I thought I'd get in early. Last weekend my daughter R and I drove down to the end of our road which leads one way to the horse racing track (I don't like horse racing btw) and the other way leads to the river but both were gated with "no dog" signs - we thought we would take Bug somewhere new for a run but we ended up coming back home instead. I was halfway up the road when I discoverd that my car had a flat tyre so when my youngest son C took the tyre into town the following day the guys at Bridgestone said it was pretty much finished and we ended up having to buy a new one which was about $160 nzd. It already had a warning on it from the last time I got a WOF (warrant of fitness) in October 2024 so this time it should pass.

Sounds like winter's arrived with a vengeance this year. Hope the new firewood keeps you all warm, and glad the tyre issue’s sorted before the next WOF
There is nothing like the warmth and comfort of a wood fire. I hope winter treats you all well.
It´s three years already?! Time so flies. Post on your X tomorrow, ahhhhhh....
So glad summer hit here... hope your wood keeps you cozy!
Nice photo's and it looks that it can be very cold over there.
So winter is hitting early for you this year. Summer is hitting us with two very early tropically warm days. That's how it goes on weblogs. :-)
Winter has arrived in your area. The snow on the mountains is quite pretty.
...X does mark the spot!
Good shot of "X" Amy. Have a wonderful week ahead
In our "former life" as soon as we could after we bought our family home we changed out the electric heat it came with for wood heat and we loved it. Nothing like the warmth of a wood fire! The snow covered mountains are pretty and it's good to have snow to look at but not to have to fight it on your streets and walkways. Stay warm!
I love snow covered mountains.
Those mountains are beautiful!
