It started snowing heavily yesterday around lunch time. We were visiting Karen and Brian at their new house in Mosgiel but soon after finishing a cup of tea, decided to leave and make our way home while we still could. Leaving the car in first gear all the way, we very cautiously made our way over Saddle Hill and home just before it really settled in.
Today all the roads are closed in and out of Dunedin and we can not get into work. The news on the radio is that this is the worst snow storm in 16 years.
