Unison Networks linemen working on Matahoura Rd, Tutira, to restoe power.
A lot has been written about the weather bomb that pummelled our region at the weekend.
It is a drama that certainly touched most people's lives in the lower North Island and in Hawke's Bay especially.
For many of us it was the wind and cold, coupled with the aggravation
of being without power on Saturday, but for others it was being stranded in the snow, cut off from civilisation and having no power for days.
It was a big deal whichever way you look at it and it certainly kept the journalists of this newspaper busy making sure we kept readers up to date and informed through our website, Facebook page and in the papers this week.
We were able to report on what was happening on the Napier-Taupo Rd and had a team up there to observe the moment the road opened on Tuesday morning.
