Good clip, certainly can see something moving across the wharf.

Looking dark and broody to the west from Parnell, great view from the hotel.

Good footage. You reminded me of the Hurricane Man in his reports of hurricanes, etc, but with the snow falling at Arthurs Pass !snowchaser01 wrote: Thu 15/08/2019 23:56 I was out and about during this event, check out some footage i got below...![]()
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
