Summer?????

Yesterday (March 11th) was the coldest day in March, in Queenstown, since records began. We reached a high of 6°C....
The wood burner has now run nonstop for about 60 hours and locals everywhere are stocking up on firewood and proclaiming that "a cold one is on the way" (talking about winter). We hope we didn't just jinx it!

Here are a couple of photos Greg took from "the office" this morning. It was the size snowfall you expect mid-winter - about 10cm down to 700m and about 20cm up on the Remarkables Ski Field (700m is at about the height at the top of the Gondola).
