/obligatory only time I've seen snow in real life was in New Zealand

I never thought New Zealand was taking snow... Need moar geography lesson

Considering the South Island is practically just a mountain range rising from the ocean, I'd be very surprised if there wasn't snow.

Look at some photos of Mt Cook, pretty much looks like it was exported straight from Switzerland.

SNOW, SNOW EVERYWHERE

REALLY? I didn't know. I haven't checked Facebook/the internet for a while

Well tbh, I'm going to leave work soon, otherwise SouthEastern (worst train operator ever) will probably have cancelled my trains by the time I want to leave...

Sound advice as it was on SE that a large group of people got stuck all night in this sort of weather last year....

Wonderful, thanks for that ray of sunshine...

UK, day 95: It's started to snow! -1 Celsius and just a few centimetres of snow in Southampton later, havoc ensues, and everything screeches to a massive halt xD . University courses are cancelled due to the "extreme weather conditions", and the "University’s Crisis Management Committee" decides to evacuate all univeristy premises at Friday 1 PM and keep the whole university closed during the weekend because of the "risks" this might otherwise pose to the students and staff. Cars slide back down hills or skid in circles, and public transport is suffering (I've been told that a few years ago, a lack of preventive measures was blamed on it being "the wrong type of snow" xD).

Maybe now I'll finally do some writing for my quarterly report instead of being in the lab all the time .

Welcome to the absurdity that is Britain's inability to cope with 'severe' weather!


Also, this is the amount of snow that is bringing London to its knees...

We had less snow than that, and chaos ensued.

But then again, you live on a tiny island, and everyone knows it never snows on them tropical islands

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

'tis true, we rarely get snow.


On an unrelated note. I think I've just built a PC. D:

Nothing's caught fire yet either. D:

If it is any consolation to the Poms, we pretty much collapse over sleet, let alone snow.

I don't remember there being a specific term for "hill" in Malay

We've had 6-8 inches here, so a fair amount.
