Brrrrr - and it isn't even Winter yet

"Heavy snow, rain and severe gales are predicted to top off a week of icy weather this weekend.

The MetService has issued a severe weather warning for southerly gales, heavy snow and heavy rain around the country.

A low was expected to bring heavy rain in the coastal hills of the Wairarapa, southern and eastern slopes of the Tararua Ranges, and Wellington."

Okay, M'dears, seldom snows in Wellington City, and wont this time around. Yes - snow in other places and way, way earlier than usual. Ski fields have gone from delight to avalanche fear.

Still - the super cold wind and awful weather continues and it isn't even Winter yet!!!!!

Mickle and Zebbycat snuggled down, very appreciative of each other's body warmth and utterly fed up with this lingering cold snap that will linger for at least another 3 days.

The Sub- Antarctic wind chill isn't appreciated!!!!

We're reserving our energy so no purrs or snores from either of us. Snuggling, cuddling down.....
