Let it snow

Stephen woke me about 11:30pm to show me this view of our street. We tried to wake up the kids to show them in case it didn't last until morning. They were too sound asleep.

The photo above was taking at 11:30pm last night and the one below was taken at 7:30. The table and railings show how much snow fell in between. We think that we have at least 15cms by 10am and it is still snowing.

During the night we heard a crack, and whoosh sound. When we look out the back we saw this tree lying across the vegetable garden. I had been considering getting rid of it anyway as I wanted to plant berries there. It might have damaged our winter vegetables.

Our BBQ area. The lump in the foreground is the sandpit.

I am a little concerned about the effect of 15cm of snow on our new grass.

The view out our window is quite magical and I could sit here all day watching gentle snow falling, the snow falling off powerlines and trees, people out playing in the snow.
