Snow on the Ranges

Winter has arrived, and there is snow on the Tararua Ranges behind our new home.  In fact, snow fall is causing problems over large parts of New Zealand.   Major roads throughout the North Island remain closed following yesterday's cold snap, however other highways have started re-opening.  No wonder we needed a nice warming plate of hot porridge for breakfast, and hot soup for lunch.

We have been busy packing the caravan this morning for our long weekend away.  Plenty of winter woollies will certainly be going in.  There is no snow on the roads in our part of paradise, so our trip today should be hassle free, we hope.  We are meeting up with Geoff and Eileen after an early lunch today and driving north.  Through the Manawatu Gorge, and plan to spend the night at Woodville.   According to Geoff, who seems to be an expert on these matters, Woodville has the very best fish and chip shop ever.  So it will be fish and chips four times for our evening meal.  We will report back next time on just how good they were.
