OMG SNOW

It snowed! Here in the Waikato! I heard the snow cloud was coming north and looked out for it, and it got dark and then the snow came down -- like hail, but falling slowly instead of pelting down. I grabbed my gumboots and camera and ran outside, and Monty the kitten ran with me and got snow on his fur. It fell for less than a minute and melted as soon as it landed. I'll see how those pictures came out later today!

That's the first time I've ever been in and touched snow in my life.

That's... COOL! Yay! It snowed once where I live (in 1977)- most of it melted before it hit the ground.

Oh, wow! I want all my memories of snow to be eradicated now so I can experience it again for the first time.

I still get a little buzz when it snows, even though I then end up getting grumpy about it when everything grinds to a halt because of it - but even knowingthat's inevitable it's so beautiful when it falls - glad you got the opportunity to experience that :)

Yes! That was what it was like here in Auckland too!
