COLIN SLATER'S NZ UPDATE

30 May 2000


Well what's happened is the weirdest thing .. first of all OZ gets buried under feet of fresh snow waaaaay before they normally do, and we get hit with big heaving rain showers and NW (ie warm) winds.

Thredbo has more snow that I have _ever_ seen there and it's still dumping, -6C in the town centre. Of course the sun will come, it will melt and they'll be back to square one

In NZ It's not pretty. Before you look at the webcams, please be aware it could be painful, the sight of grass and rain in June is not a good omen.

It might snow today actually, I believe it's turned southerly and it's definitely cooling down, I came to work this morning in a T shirt on my bike! Winter eh? ..
