Snow!!

[hoegaandit]

In our city it only snows about every fifteen or twenty years. Well, that's now!!

The pics aren't that great because it only started snowing not too much before nightfall, and also my camera can't take pictures too well in low light. Our two teenage kids had a ball. (They have been skiing before in the mountains). Our boy however has never seen snow. I have wanted to take him to the snow but it's usually an hour's drive to the local pass, and usually the snow does not last that long. The big fella did seem to enjoy the snow (tail up), especially when we were chasing each other for snowball fights and he was joining in.

Snow in the middle of summer??? Where are you at? Argentina?

 

[hoegaandit]

Middle of New Zealand. (It snows quite a bit at sea level in southern New Zealand in winter, where we are (in the middle of the country) rarely and in the northern parts pretty much does not snow). Of course there is always snow in the higher mountains.

It was really surprising to see snow here today. But more is forecast in the next few days!

(Here is a more usual picture from last weekend, walking up from one of the river walks).

:D he does seem to love that snow. Be warned he may become sulky when it melts
Lucy loves snow too...I don't!
Have fun while you have it though.

It would be nice if HRH enjoyed snow. But she definitely does not! But then I can't say I blame her. I don't like it either.

That is VERY cool. Gator doesn't like the snow very much because he HATES having wet feet. Don't know if Gypsy likes it because she was just born in January
