I would suggest Santa fine tune his GPS if he is traveling around our area. We are due for a severe blizzard for both Christmas and Boxing day. But at least it won't be terribly cold.

It is too cold for snowballs. For a snowball, you need to have temps much much nearer to freezing.

It is said the Inuit have 20 words for snow to cover the different types. It was just last week we were experiencing the dry cold snow that squeaks as you walk on it. That is generally at about -25 and colder.

We are now under a winter storm watch, just upgraded from a weather advisory. We will likely only get 15 to 30 cm of snow, but with high winds which will bring us into blizzard conditions. I have no where to go, so the next few days will be spent near the fireplace, or I may venture out to the shop and start the woodstove on boxing day and work on some projects. .

Default Christmas Day here

Well it's now Christmas morning here, I know the Kiwis are a couple of hours ahead of us already!

Hi All

Seasons greetings to all just came back from daughter's home celebrating Christmas and Hanukkah with her family. Their children are at the age where having both Hanukka and Christmas fall at the same time is like they won the lottery, particularly with grand parrents of both faiths. What a wonderful time.

Yes Hanno thanks for bringing up the New Years Challenge who will be the first to post photos or video of their New Years CMP run. Hoping all three trucks will start this year, is OK to charge the batteries this week? Hoping we will have a little more snow before now and then right now the drive is ice from the last storm.

Again good wishes to all for 2017.

Cheers Phil
