Feels like -7� C now.
Still warmer than a Dunedin student flat.

I wonder how they work out the wind chill factor. Does Bob McDavitt stand outside with a thermometer and says "The reading is 0.6 oC but it feels like -7"?

Or do they just make it up?

I think they go by shrinkage rates

Apparently it 'feels like' -6 at the moment but I can assure you it feels more like -20 when you're in it*. Doesn't help that it's blowing it's arse off southerly.

The Rock 1000 countdown that started today and the fact I'm on leave this week so will be able to listen to it. Some great songs that don't normally get a lot of airplay.

Ah!  That's why it felt a lot warmer than metservice's reading.
 
Last time there was snow like this (only not as much) in K-town was in 1973 I think.  Or was it 1975?  I'll go with 1973 from memory.

Stuff:

MetService head forecaster Peter Kreft said the polar blast was "a 50 year" event.

"It's a once-in-many-decades event. We are probably looking at something like - in terms of extent and severity, maybe 50 years," he said.

The level of snow that fell in Wellington had not been seen since at least the 1970s, he said.

The guy on TV3 who has been doing weather reports in the snow/rain from the top of Mt Vic has looked about 2 inches from dead the last couple of nights.

I was watching GCW the other night, and Marc Ellis was on it. What was up with that?? It was very awkward with Ellis and Richardson both competing to be the alpha male and Mulligan in the middle gradually turning into the peace-making mother figure...
