Snow!!

Well, I have no idea when last it snowed in Wellington but if I find out I will update. Update: it last snowed in Wellington 40 years ago! It started at about 4.15pm and it was very very light. We took a few photos and thought it was all over but then it came down quite hard

Me with a few flakes in my hair and on my arms

A light dusting on the protea tree

Then it snowed harder. This is with the outside light on and the snow in the light

The Mitsy covered in snow - and this was after the boys had already swept a lot off it

Me outside in the light before it came down really hard and I decided I needed a warm jacket on

And the power went out about 20 minutes after it started snowing! I had put a meal into the slow cooker much earlier today so we had a hot meal. The power did come back on just before 6pm

The kids loved it and went to the primary school with some of their friends to play in it. They came home around 6.30pm and headed straight for a warm shower then had dinner.

It was fun but I'm glad it won't last for too long
