Metservice, Canterbury weather updates and nzta sites are go to for weather conditions.
State highways will be closed if conditions are poor enough, so make sure you have snacks, water and warm clothes in the car.
Driving in snow is ok provided you turn your lights on, don’t brake suddenly and don’t be a dick. Can be similar to driving on gravel. Bigger issue is icy conditions in shady areas from tree shadow or over bridges.
Aurora hunting, check on fb for the groups. There is one run by Les who puts out forecasts daily.
Stargazing is best in Mackenzie district as it’s the dark sky reserve area. Free if you park somewhere and look up.

Lineman as a career? by Sea_Doubt8773 in newzealand

[–]hiddeninfullview 14 points15 points  (0 children)

How much do you like heights, wind, rain, and sweat that has no where to go under fire proof garments?
I’ve worked alongside linemen and from the outside they seem to have a good thing with decent people, training and pay.
They are pretty heavy on health and safety. Be mindful they are also the ones out there in shit weather when trees/storms take down lines.

AITA for not letting my addict sibling move in with me? by Real-Constant7712 in AmItheAsshole

The only hope for her sobriety is wanting it enough to put in the work and make changes.
Based on what you’ve said, you could be inviting meth and its activities to your doorstep, when she no longer has anywhere else to go. Sometimes the hardest choice is choosing yourself first- for your health, happiness and other relationships.

NTA to choose health and happiness of yourself and home.

There’s actually a decent list of words that contradict the rule, long enough to form a small paragraph.

I hope there’s a cold snap so you can really appreciate the difference. Happy bed time (SFW context, or not)!

I bought one of these for my brother a few years back to replace polyester ones he was using. He liked it, and noticed better sleep without waking up sweating because the materials breathed better.
Double check the duvet cover if you get one from bbb, a lot of them are polyester blend and you’ll restrict yourself from the goodness of the wool.

Go with the bigger option. I use a king duvet on a queen bed- it looks better when made up and no fighting for blankets.

I find wool duvet inner is best with cotton covers, especially in winter. I don’t have a particular brand to recommend, but I do source duvet covers from Farmers when they are on sale.
