They've now closed every main road in Central Otago overnight (except for Cromwell to Alexandra, which is apparently just chains compulsory), must have had a bit of snow up there!

I'm working in Cromwell for the next 2 weeks (uni holidays), its looking like it could be a tad chilly (why is there no cold smiley)





Hmmm, I know what could be good in the snow...
