Default A distraction from earthquakes
Well its been 5 months since the major Feb quake as well as a large aftershock in June but today we have something to distract us from all that, may not be much for many parts but for Christchurch this is alot of snow ...

Bugger, I was there last week and all I got was to see earthquake rubble at Lyttleton.

Oh and I had a 3.2 something as well, made the door on my hotel rattle.

Cheers,

John W
