The museum waterwheel in Alexandra frozen, motionless. Teah McStay (7) of Alexandra enjoys a day off school as she slides in the snow on a deflated ski biscuit. Bamford Contracting's $300,000 45-tonne digger stuck in the Manuherikia River. Olivers in Clyde. Kodi Stewart (13), Leyton Dowling (7) and Troy Stewart (15), all of Alexandra, add the final touches to their giant snowman. Rhian Sharman (7) and Emily Wellstead (3), both of Clyde, enjoy tobagganing. Cameron Smit (6) of Clyde takes aim. The Clyde dam generating much-needed power. Clyde's red-painted bridge provides a bit of colour to the stark landscape. Richard Coutts and his lookalike outside the Clyde Post Office Cafe. Iona Robinson-Irons (5) of Alexandra with her snowman at Pioneer Park. Alexandra's historic bridge piers on the Clutha River. Alexandra's pie cart on Centennial Ave was not able to be towed away as snow covered roads in the town. 'White gold' fills an old miner's bucket. The driver of this truck managed to reach Alexandra from Roxburgh yesterday. Crab apples at Clyde look good enough for a Northern Hemisphere Santa.
