I call this collection "It's so darn cold outside my pool has frozen over with an inch of ice, my hot water has frozen up and condensation has frozen to my window."

Just a couple of shots showing all you northerners what it's like to live down here! (Do we have a southern man emoticon? )





Left the snow on the lens for effect. Yes, prking like this was intentional......



Thankfully, everything is slowly thawing out. It'll be another cold night!

Connor, beaut shots mate, looks fantastic We've been waiting for a dusting on Mt Pirongia near Hamilton but no luck so far (or maybe I just slept in)
Makes me laugh how you hear winter-folks talk on the telly saying how great it is, then you hear farmers and service folks saying how bad it is

That's a farmers life though, too cold in witnter, too dry in summer, too wet in spring, too windy when it's blowing nor'west, too busy when it's lambing season, to quiet when it's not, etc, etc. I'm sounding like my grandfather!
