It is raining frozen cats and dogs here in New Zealand. We are right in the middle of our winter; a particularly wet and cold one this year. It is raining from one end of the country to the other. It is not the time of year for taking holidays. Snow is down to low altitudes in the high country and is very apparent too in the low temperatures being recorded.
Well, after having probably our best summer in a decade we can't be too disappointed I guess. I can stand the cold, and the rain too, but not together I'm afraid. The weather bombs have been destructive at times.
The saving grace is that when things start to deterioate in the northern hemisphere, they begin to improve here as well. Its a case of putting on some more warm clothes, an extra blanket or two and donning our wet weather gear.
Winter it may well be, but for the next couple of weeks our All Blacks international rugby team will be playing in the afternoons on hard grounds, warm weather in the South African republic, after wet nights here in New Zealand. The downside is we have to get up early in the wee small hours of Sunday mornings here.
