Good footage. You reminded me of the Hurricane Man in his reports of hurricanes, etc, but with the snow falling at Arthurs Pass !
I remember snowy conditions there in my train driving years in the 1990's.
There's good footage of a coal train plowing through the snow from Arthurs Pass filmed by Geoff Macklay.
Liked some of your comedies on the side of your Tube posting.
Lots to watch in your night of being stranded there :D
