Cold weather and snow has literally blown in to New Zealand from Antarctica, Canterbury was closed for a second day today. Over 20 centimeters of snow has fallen and more may fall over the next day before the weather system dissipates. Luckily, I have a trusty espresso machine, well-stocked kitchen, books, and lots of projects to make sure I do not go stir crazy. In a break from work, I brushed snow off of the trees, cleared a poplar branch, and searched for the elusive snow kiwi. Alas, I only found a snowman among the pukeko.
