Same! Chch has been so boring this winter, need proper snow!

Good luck to the snow fans. Just hope the roads don't turn into a skid pan for the tourists again.

Jack Morrison2026-07-23T05:27:53.000Z

Truth. Tourists can't drive in a straight line on a good day, let alone in snow

Sophie Ngata2026-07-23T05:27:53.000Z

Awee lovely photo! Bring on the snow days, the kids are desperate for a snowman ⛄

Chloe Martin2026-07-23T05:45:53.000Z

Great, so the ski fields can charge $200 a day for a lift pass while we freeze. love that for us

Sophie Ngata2026-07-23T06:48:53.000Z

Omg yes! Finally some proper winter weather. The ice skating looks so dreamy, want to go!

RNZ2026-07-23T06:13:53.000Z

here we go again... media loves hyping up a bit of cold. it's july. it's supposed to be cold. move on

Jordan Bell2026-07-23T06:17:53.000Z

Honestly as a student I just hope the uni closes if it gets bad. No lectures in a blizzard pls

James O’Brien2026-07-23T06:37:53.000Z

haha true that, but at least you'd get a snow day

Luca Reid2026-07-23T06:31:53.000Z

the lake photo is stunning though. nz winters are actually beautiful when it's not just rain

Chloe Martin2026-07-23T06:59:53.000Z

Ella Thompson2026-07-23T06:38:53.000Z

Jordan Bell2026-07-23T07:16:53.000Z
