That's summer temps for me, anything 20 to 26/28 Celsius is warm, and above that I start to struggle.

We used to get a 'snow day' once or twice a year when I moved to Dunedin in the early 2000s but now we're lucky to see something like a 'snow day' once every 2-5 years I think. The event we just had was a massive dumping / cold blast and something like it had not been seen in 10+ years...

Today, three days later it's sunny and the high is 20 today, whereas middle of the week it was like 5 and a windchill down to -3 :)

Phew, glad that's passed :)
