Let It Snow!

There was a buzz of excitement around the country yesterday as it snowed in a whole-lotta places it just doesn't normally snow! While the South Island was hammered with we-just-don't-need-any-more-of-this snow & gales, the snow landed on North Island towns & cities at sea level, even as far as Auckland! Now I know this is not a big deal to a lot of people, especially those from the Northern Hemisphere, but it was certainly a novelty waking up to snow fluttering outside- a new experience for me! At best it was just a dusting of snow which had disappeared by lunchtime, but I was happy to hear that the school kids experienced another snowfall at morning recess, and enjoyed running around catching flakes in their mouths and other craziness. We woke again to a white lawn this morning, only this time it was a heavy frost.
