[Ag-eq] The latest

[Jewel]

Right through winter, every second skier at one
of our winter resorts is from overseas, Americans being among the most prolific.
We have a number of popular ski resortswinter, both in the South and North Island and many overseas 
skiers come to ski here when Northern Hemisphere fields are closed.
I hope that none of our members have been affected by the wildfires that I hear are blazing in 
several states.

Jewel is snow unusual for you?

I never thought about ski resorts in New Zealand.

It has just been hot and humid here.

Last night, in the weather forecast, we were  warned of an antarctic blast
roaring up whence antarctic blast originate.  We were told to be prepared
for heavy snowfalls and I don't know what else.  At the time we were being
warned of what would happen overnight, I understand that the South Island
was shaken by a couple of earthquakes, not that I felt even the slightest
quiver.

This morning, as I had no vet to get up for, I arose at the, unusually early
hour, that is, unusally early for me, of 9Am when Guideon popped out of his
bedbox announcing that he was ready for whatever the day held:  was he going
to be surprised!!
The normal state of things is that I open the back door for him and he goes
out into the yard and attends to his own bursting bladder and other things
that I would rather not think about, and then having done this, he returns
and barks at the door asking to be allowed back in.  This is, normally,
about 10/15 minutes later, but not this morning.
I opened the door for him and he went out, but, immediately returned to bark
at the door.  He said, or I think that he may have done that something
strange had happened to the ground overnight.
This dreadful thing that had happened to the ground was that there was about
an inch:  yes!  a whole inch of snow there!
An inch of snow!  after that warning about an antarctic blast and heavy
snowfalls!  what a storm in a teacup!
However, the management of winter ski resorts such as Queenstown were
dancing the dance of joy when they were told to expect a fall of half a
metre or so.  Let us hope that they got what they wanted!
