Tis Cold Here

Thats what I hate about living here (Invercargill) when it cold ,it gets cold!!
We were on 5deg yesterday, we weren't the coldest, but it feels like it!!

Forums: The Bar,

People live in Invercargil!?

Yes, feel sorry for us retarded south islanders, man it's cold. Although... Southland? hahaha ;)

Guess I had to get that from a Jafa

get drumming ya big wuss!!!!!! that'll warm ya up!!!!!!

it's a lovely day here today in Dunners, big blue sky, snow melting on the hills ...

Yeah its a little bit warmer today, but guess that won't last :-(

i know invercargill is frozen (grandparent slive their) but come up the hutt valley today - theirs snow on mt Climie and its like living in a freezer. so much for the 30c days we get in summer.

I just left dunedin to live in auckland like 4 days ago. I missed the snow i feel fucking so bummed.
Oh well i have never woken up in a sweat in the winter before. It is warm here

Sell out.... kidding ;-)
If I could I'd move up there too!!! but I suck because never been pass chch

Wow dude you really need to get out of invercargill

woken up in a sweat andoru? how did you manage that? its fucking freezing here! and at night it just pisses with rain and theres thunder and lightning and its COLD.

tama drummer, you should come to auckers for the BDO or something. see the world!! hehe

It is fucking hot here! i am wearing a t shirt and shorts!

and it aint pretty.

lmao... its damn cold here. i have to bike to school, with my little scarf & 2 pairs of gloves & ugly blazer & jersey & all... I can barely get out of bed, i freeze my ass off every morning.

im a wearing a fluffy jacket!
i am such a pansy!

wowsers! its bloody freezing in auckland. i dont know how you could wear shorts!! its so bloody windy too!!

ahh the Dunedin winter, nothing like playing soccer on ice covered grounds. Everyone wanted to be goalie, gloves! Go Grants Brays (damnit is that how it is spelt? been so long)!

it is a common phenomena for folk from the land of ice and snow to turn up in shorts and tees in the middle of Auckland's winter, it will take about a year to get acclimatized, wait Andoru till you have to put up with a rotten summer, wet, sticky, clothes going mouldy on the line as you wait for them to try to dry..... your heart will break from yearning for the crisp cleanness that is Dunedin

>tama drummer, you should come to auckers for the BDO or >something. see the world!! heh

Maybe, if any good bands will be playing, Foo Fighters were meant to play this year but pulled out because the drummer OD & when to rehab last year.
So auckland is the world?? I bet a lot of them think so ;-)

// So auckland is the world??

naw... but its a step up from invervegas at least!

True

Good Lord! Why do people insist on calling Invercargill Invervegas? There can be only one, and it's Rotovegas. Even if you want one per island, Ashvegas comes way ahead of NZ's most southern city.

im fully with ya there foaf. rotovegas, nothing else, stop trying to steal roto's wicked name everyone!

it's getting outta hand.......

Um... its winter. Call me crazy but yeah, its the cold season.

Put on a hoody and get over it.

Yeah, but can't we discus how much winter sucks??

i love winter!

i have too many awesome jackets to dislike winter :) rahahaa!

I love a European winter, well the end of it.
yesterday in Wellington was almost perfect just chuck the degrees down to oh say -4.

Winter is probably best experienced in Chch because it's usually clear and calm by lunchtime, pretty much like what Wellington is going through now - yay Wellington. Of course ChCh is full of raving cantabs, so if that's not your bag check out Wanaka which is also heaven for winter junkies.

Having experienced many many Dunedin winters I refuse to glamourise them. Winter in Dunnos is cold and windy and wet and not nearly as enjoyable as people will have you believe (don't even try it AKA).

Yesterday here was perfection, I drove into the city for work
on my right, the tide in, the Haven a sliver sheet of stillness, held in place by the strong black line of the boulder bank, beyond that, rising from the deep teal blue of Tasman Bay were the Mountains cover with snow half way to the water line....
yes it is winter and it is Goood

// (don't even try it AKA).
I wouldn't.......... my memorys of dunedin winters are warmed by nostalgia,

The weather in dunedin is Fucked up!!! I went there in summer, the sun was cranking, nothing but blue sky, BUT the wind was some of the most freezing shit i have ever experienced. It comes hauling down the main drag and hits you like a frieght train.
It's easy to play spot the Aucklander down there i tell ya, i was the one wearing jeans and a big jacket on St Clair's beach, when everone else had t-shirts on. I swear i must be one of the only people ever to be freezing cold and get sunburnt at the same time.

Sick waves though

i love winter
i hate summer - it is far too hot

hmm it has come to my attention that NZers are obsessed with the weather... always askin about the weather, perfect conversation starter for some. and ppl are always complaining about it! confusing.....

I know... and its annoying. The weather is the weather, we can't really change it. Seasons come and go. Its winter... you gotta expect cold, rain, snow, bullshit like that.

Winter is the perfect excuse to snuggle up with your man and, most importantly, not worry about how you look in a bikini for six months.

i think maybe the reason that kiwis talk alot about the weather, is that its SO changeable around here! in germany, if its winter, its cold. if its summer, then its hot. its not like "heeey... its winter but its hot outside! no wait... now its freezing!... oh okay, now its hot again!" :P

Now I'm thinking that song "4 Season In One Day" thats Crowded House right??
Another thing I hate about Winter, I get a cold, doesn't help when my nose is half blocked anyway.

hehe true prozaco. its very random

Bitching at the weather may stop us bitching at each other. IM SOOOOO COLD!
I'm wearing 'ugly socks' and the fire is lit.

lol @ ugly socks :D
im sick at the mo, so im just about to bundle myself up in bed, before bundling myself back out again to go see marystaple.
argghh... its a hard life. hehe

cinnimon about a tea spoon in what ever hot drink you are having, mixed in before adding the water, will knock the "ugly socks" off that cold, ask Megaccino she will say it's true too...

Yes, I fully recommend the cinnimon thing, I really feel it has slowed my cold. I haven't had a sore throat & the blocked nose is going, fast.

A personal endorsement from Megaccino?

Damn... must be good.

thanks for the tip :D think i might try that!

i love the cold. lots.

you would have to living in welly town and all

been super nice in 04 for the last 3 weeks.... even got a bit of a tan on my pasty white ass

aaaaaand no wind... ha!! ain't that weird?!?

Are we STILL not over the fact that it's cold, yet?

I mean, its winter and all, so god knows why the temperature has dropped, snow is falling around the mountains and the beach is pretty much out of the question.

The sky is complete cloaked in a thick grey cloud, it looks infinitely deep. Ominous...
