Funny Winter So Far

As this is our first winter after many years in Singapore, we found that winter so far is really funny. It is extremely cold at night (-2 degrees) but it is glorious and sunny at day time (even though temperatures is still in the early teens). One have to wear winter clothes now including wool clothings, thermals, beannies and gloves and the cars and grass will be frosted (icy) in the morning.

It even snowed in Taupo a couple of days ago and the locals had a great time playing snowball fights and snowboarding. We even had a blackout two days ago because of too much electricity is being used at the same time that the generators cannot cope. Anyway, as long as the sun keep shining, we have no complaints. It is better than having a cold and wet winter.
