He he, next time I will. I'd already spent 3 hours in Sanson having coffee so it was only a quick stop.

We are going up at Labour weekend again but won't have time to stop, but will definitely call through as I plan to spend more time up there over the Xmas hols.

Lizzle, very very very jealous. I have been traveling the desert road since I was 10 & I've never seen them. Mum said that she saw them but I missed it

The snow up there reminded me of the time when Dad had to load all the kids up in our car to get through to ballet practice in Ohakune. I used to dream that I was pirouetteing through the fields.]]> Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:59:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29176&PID=807727&title=snow#807727 <![CDATA[Snow : You should of told me you were...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29176&PID=807521&title=snow#807521 Author: mummy_becks

49 has remained open but 1 was clased from Rangipo to Taihape so if you wanted to go north or south you had to do the parapara's. Still snowing we went for a walk down the main road and got caught in it.

All stocked up here, we went shopping while we were down in Palmy so won't run out of things in a while. Bread seems to be the biggest thing people are running out of and we can't get bread deliveries here so the cop went over to Ohakune yesterday and got a whole heap for the locals.

We have about 50cm of snow on the ground here, so all my plans to go away with Andrew are gone.

I had to take DP to work just past Ruapheu this morning and the road was open between National Park and Turangi. It was looking pretty all in white and there was still snow falling in some places.

And there were cars and trucks heading towards Ohakune so the road must be open that way.]]> Tue, 06 Oct 2009 10:37:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29176&PID=797281&title=snow#797281 <![CDATA[Snow : might be open now. ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29176&PID=797243&title=snow#797243 Author: lizzle

Hmmm might flag the idea, bugger cause Mum & Dad are going to be back at their place in Turangi today so was looking forward to some pampering (breakfast in bed )plus skiing tomorrow.

You might struggle to get there aliasmum, the dessert road is closed between taihape and waiouru this morning, and so is SH49 between waiouru and ohakune.

Thinking you guys becks, hope you are stocked up.

We got trapped last night with the snow. Coming back home from Palmy we got stuck in Taihape for the night. Us and about 200 odd others (about 50% of them were army people as well - we had 2 courses starting today and lots of people away) were stopped. We were lucky we have family in Taihape that put us up for the night. Got through the road up to home at about 12.30. So glad to be home it is like a blizzard out there now, but I have my fires going to keep us warm.

Photos to come once I can get them taken.
