  5. We have snow at Long Beach. My house is surrounded by white stuff. Mt Cargill Rd and Blueskin Rd are both closed, meaning there is no route into Dunedin.

    There's a cold southerly, temperature is 2° - feels like -1° and it's freezing outside.

    Naturally there is chaos on Dunedin roads.

  7. I enjoyed this lovely video of my old home town, Dunedin/Ōtepoti and its heritage buildings in the central city. Great to see the Vogel Street Kitchen shown - always my favourite port of call for a breakfast when I am visiting. I must admit the word 'heritage' can be a bit triggering sometimes as it is so often associated with white privilege in suburbs like Thorndon or Mt Eden where it is used as a justification for keeping the poors at a distance. That doesn't seem to be the case in Dunedin/Ōtepoti at least.

  9. The ODT launched its new website this week. It has a cleaner look, although a higher proportion of stories appear to be stuffed behind a paywall.

    And unfortunately, Reader View no longer bypasses their paywall.

    Luckily smry.ai does. ;-)

  11. CW: Climate change - more Dunedin flooding

    While the big rain from last week has largely drained away, residents of Marne and Somerville Streets in Andersons Bay were flooded this afternoon by a king tide.

    They're right beside the harbour. Marne Street runs along the side of the inlet while Somerville St joins that.

    I can't recall this area flooding before but I'm willing to be corrected.

  13. It's another stunningly beautiful winter morning in the south. The sky is blue, the sun's shining, there's no wind and it's currently -1°C. That may sound unnecessarily cool to folk who live in sub-tropical Auckland, but honestly, it's fresh and it's bracing.*

    There are numerous road warnings in place, mainly in Central Otago.

    * Sure, I'm wearing merino polyprops, a hat, scarf and ski jacket. It's my winter uniform.

  17. State highway 88 between Dunedin and Port Chalmers has closed again today due to flooding.

    That section of road under the rail bridge at Sawyers Bay always floods early. As you'd expect with low-lying land adjoining a harbour.

  19. Heavy #rain hits #Dunedin, surface flooding across city | RNZ
    Heavy rainfall has arrived in Dunedin earlier than expected and is forecast to continue overnight, with surface flooding and some land instability reported.

    Dunedin's Civil Defence bunker has been activated, with a rare red-level warning issued for coastal Dunedin and Clutha for heavy rain that could cause significant #flooding and #slips.

    State highways have also closed in Otago, because of snow.
