The morning after

The morning after, not just the wind wrecking havoc but several cms of fresh snow! Not the best conditions for riding today atop the Old Man Range.

This all fell yesterday afternoon in a matter of 60 minutes! Snow down 200 meters on the Old Man Range. — at Alexandra Township, Central Otago.


And what a difference a day makes! Beautiful clear, and slightly crisp, Central Otago morning. Perfect riding conditions at the moment but suspect the temperatures may climb later in the day.


That would be about right. The wind was something extraordinary and the speed with which everything happened, with the front hitting in a matter of minutes.
