Wild Weather of Central Otago

Yes it is official, the wild weather of Central Otago is as wild as ever!

A week ago we had a massive downpour of rain and we had to quickly dig trenches around the Packing Shed to prevent a torrent of water from flooding it.

Below is an example of one of our emergency trenches!

After that wonderful event we thought the weather wasn’t going to get any worse for a little while longer.
That is until this morning when we awoke to this.

Snow on the Benger Ranges.
Yet another sign of the approaching winter.

Yes it is safe to say that we are in for some cold days!!
Thank goodness for that marvellous, combustable stuff commonly referred to as FIREWOOD!!!!

That’s all for now folks.

Stay tuned for more Hobbs Orchard news in the coming months!
