Current conditions: 2°C (36°F) with snow in August. That's right, snow. In August. Visibility remains reasonable, though confidence in the seasons is deteriorating rapidly.
Due to the surprise appearance of winter's winter, my wife's campus has officially decided that roads are optional and has moved classes online for the day. Students are advised to attend lectures from secure blanket fortifications with emergency supplies of coffee, tea, and snacks.
In unrelated news, I have just submitted the second instalment in the Gene Bukowski Files, and the first draft of SARCOM Book 3 is officially complete. Coincidence? Probably.
That said, with the current weather situation developing, one has to wonder: can Jack Crowley rescue us from the latest snow dump? Or will he be forced to battle the most relentless antagonist yet, a South Island winter armed with icy roads and horizontal sleet?
- Cold.
- Still cold.
- Writers making suspiciously good progress indoors.
- Frequent outbreaks of hot beverages.
- A slight chance of fictional heroes being recruited for snow-clearing duties.
Public safety message: Stay frosty... though I'd much rather stay toasty.
