July 24th 2011 was the first snow in Dunedin (I mean for this year). That was my first experience having white snow piling up everywhere and stop most of the activities, after three years staying in New Zealand. My flatmates and I built a miniature snowman (I mean small because we built another much bigger snowman yester night). It is meaningful for one of my flatmates (Double J’s) who will finish his study by December this year.
Almost three weeks after last snow, Dunedin once again dressed in white. My friends were praying for heavy snow, and indeed we were hit by snow storm. Exposed in extreme coldness, we managed to roll and patch out a snowman almost as high as us. Frosty the Snowman finally stand proudly guarding 97 Clyde Street.
Snow is a rare sight, snow is beautiful, snow is fun to play with. On the other hand, snow halts most of the normal activities: lectures (lazy to go out), assignments (better play with snow), transport (late courier), communications (slow internet speed from time to time), increased power consumption etc. I finally understand what is the impact of snow in northern hemisphere, as why British Premier League stops matches during snow storm.
This morning, despite the snow warning is still displayed on Met Service, heavy rain washed away the snow around the city. Lets pray for Dunedin and everybody staying here, that life will back to normal again soon.
