Snow!

Woohooo! Tonight we've got snow for the first time in years! :D

Yay! Yay! Yay!  This epic weekend is already off to a freakin' awesome start! :D

Snow - Clear Night

Last of the snow pics from today (Wednesday). All hand-held and manually focused (though it was difficult to see/tell if things were in focus as it was so dark). As can be seen, the sky has cleared up. Soo pretty!

 

More from the snow...

It pretty much snowed all day today, and only 0 deg celcius. It was intense... blizzard-like conditions for ages, and nice, fluffy, powdery snow all over the ground and trees. Even the modem+wireless, TV satellite, and heat pump (it went into sporadic defrosting phases, where it'd emit gurgling-liquid noises followed by a sighing puff of air) gave up at various points during the day.

Snow!

This morning, we woke to fresh dusting of snow, still falling heavily as I type...

Introducing Mr Snow

He's looking at you...

Winter Wonderland

The pictures say it all...

Return of the snow

Overnight, we got another great helping from the polar freezer: a fresh dump of snow in the morning, and bitterly cold and gusty winds throughout the day, with intermittent hail showers.

The great thaw

As is customary in these parts, snow falls only last a day...

Waking up in winter wonderland...

It's been snowing all night and right through the morning, with a reported 10cm of snow on the ground. Yay!

Snow!

It's been a long time coming (3 years) since our last snowfall, but tonight, it had finally arrived!
