And now, the weather
34 posts, 21 members
It is apparently so cold (a wonderful 9 degrees) that my cat, big sook that he is, is actually cuddled up to me and shaking, and slept with me under the covers all of last night (luckily no cat butt to the face). He is now eyeing up the fireplace and wondering if he should leave my warmth and constant pats and embrace the heat of the fire. How is the weather fairing in your part of the country? I've seen snow in some places - and I'm jealous!
God I am so ridiculously jealous of those with snow - it's one of the alltime things I miss about Dunedin <3
In eastern central AKL the weather kept me awake last night - thunder, lightning, torrential downpours - looked out the window around 4am and my street, which is a gentle slope, had become a waterslide! crazy.
SOOO glad I'm off to Oz this week for one last grab at warmer temps until Japan in July. I haaaaate winter in Auckland, it's so dreary!
That reminds me...I need new boots! can't wear my supertall purple suede kneehigh boots at work!

It's very cold in Christchurch. Apparently 10 degrees but my weather app says it actually feels like 2 degrees which I totally agree with. I'm a bit jealous of your fireplace - my flat has one heat pump in the lounge room, but my bedroom is upstairs and about as far away as you can get from the lounge room, so I get pretty cold. I'm currently sitting in bed reading a book, and trying not to think about the fact that I have to go to work tonight!
Its really cold in North Otago snow level not too far off where I am now so the wind is whipping it up and over the area. So cold you can see your breath and can't feel my nose, toes or fingers lol. Happily sat with my jacket and scarf on in my office though, huddled over a fan heater trying to keep warm. But not all misery as I actually love the cold and can't wait for the pure white gold to lay down to my street level. Plus getting home and snuggling is good after being cold all day =)
The sun is streaming through the windows onto my couch right now, (I'm in Nor'west Auckland). But earlier it was rainy, squally, and overnight random bursts of rain and thunder woke me up, that and my wriggly wee hot water bottle aka two year old daughter, who insisted on sleeping with me. So cute, but sooooo squirmy.
Basically... I walked around my course cuddled up in my brother's giant hoodie saying I was a thug and was gonna mug people. 5'2" redhead in a massive jacket wasn't terribly intimidating. Now that I'm home, well...

Yay for human hot water bottles Kellie! Even if they have wriggly arms and legs :P I actually love the snow. It just makes everything so quiet. And Chikoboo, snuggling with the other half would be great if he didn't choose to have a shower just before bed! He may look dry but underneath those hairy legs is what feels like a cold sweat. Bleck!
I need a human hot water bottle! (preferably of the partner variety before I work on the small child variety haha) urgh singleness
wmua I posted on your IG but in Japanese 'pikapika' means sparkly, and 'chu' is the kiss sound (we say 'mwah') so Pikachu always translates to me as 'sparkly kiss' - I know there's some other pokemon explanation but whatever coz I speak Japanese as well so mine counts, and it's better ;)

Oh yeah can't tackle winter nowadays without my unicorn onesie and unicorn slippers. Also just got one of the new season onesies a fuzzy orange fox that I love too. Lucky my mother in law lives to knit I have a box full of scarves, gloves, hats and even booties (adult ones for wearing as slipper socks around the house) she is forever sending me new ones =)
We have had the fire and heat pump Cranked up. It was 2 degrees here around tea time last night. I got into my pj's. Tiger onsie and unicorn slippers. Then it got to 32 inside and I had to strip the tiger skin ;)
Today has been so cold but hubby & son have been racing around on motorbikes, driving his new tractor he brought today. They come into eat and vanish again. I guess no matter the coldness, if there is boys and their toys, there will be nutters hanging around outside in snow and rain to play.

I dont have fancy slippers, or well I do. They aren't unicorns but the first time I bought them they were both left feet - I had to return them. They're a lovely light teal color and so fluffy. SO FLUFFY! Also Ong, come the snow, I am one of the nutters outside playing in it. Ever since I experienced my first white Christmas over in USA I've been obsessed with it, and have been lucky enough to have a few "snowfalls" at my house - more like slushy hail lol. And yesterday I gardened in the rain so yeah, definitely crazy haha. I love having the fire going because of the wetback! But then the water gets soooo freakin hot it's ridiculous. Don't even need to boil the jug for a cup of tea haha
Chikoboo brought them for me when I went into hospital for spinal surgery. Craziest thing, we had never even met before!
When it's snowing properly outside is fun. Snow in the USA must be amazing!! Our fire was on wet back and used to boil. We just ripped it out for gas cause I brought a kitchen and needed the space.lol. sad now though cause I went halves with hubby and brought a brand new claw foot bath. I'll just sacrifice gas bottles to fI'll it up when the builder installs it

Geeh I swear it is colder here this morning as the sky has cleared now and that wind is blowing the snow off into a chill factor. My little fan heater is on max at my ankles and is barely warming my feet at all, let alone these fingers...at least I can type with stiff frozen fingers, not too fast or I fear they might snap today.
It's about 17 degrees here in Auckland at the mo, not too cold. The rain has gone for now so finally drying washing out. Winter is not my favourite season because my skin dries out quite a lot, especially my hands and feet, and lips need extra moisture as well. My favourite seasons are spring and autumn, not too hot or cold. We love our open fireplace though.
I miss having a fire place, grew up with one in the house and every place before the one I'm in had one, they also had bathtubs ironically. Now apartment living and no fire place and electric heaters aren't the same. Used my new puffer jacket for the first time this week and it is really warm, I did have high expectations since I bought it online from the UK.
Haha is that a Welcome to Night Vale reference Shazatron?
It's certainly a bit fresh here in sunny Hawke's Bay, but nothing like my parent in South Canterbury saying it was 3 degrees! Then the husband's car broke down in Ohakune when it was close to freezing so he was not happy. However I have a clingy cat at the moment (he didn't like that we left him for 10 days) so I have a furry hot water bottle, so the slight chill is dealt to here!

Auckland not too bad 4 seasons in 1 day.
At my dad's it snowed he lives in Tangiwai.
and my son has just gone to Raurimu for camp at Blue Mountain Adventure centre. Part of his intermediate weekly group he goes to at our church The Salvation Army and we packed him with all the essentials ski pants X2 Kathmandu jacket bush jerseys and rugby socks.... It's going to be freezing for them the Auckland city slicker kids won't know what's hit them. Me and my kids always go down there so we know how cold it gets but not immune to it.
I feel for the Southerners it must be chilly and when it snows well the novelty wears of fast... I use to love in Q town.... chilly.... keep warm ladies.

Today was sunny in Christchurch and warmish but the temperature dropped tonight. It's not as cold as it was on Monday night when there was sleet and rain and winds and the siblings that like the windows open has freezing feet with it closed, I have cold feet year round so I couldn't feel mine that night, I think it wee hours of the morning when I was sleeping that they thawed off under the blankets.
