Snow flakes a-falling

Today it finally snowed!  We were a bit bummed that we didn't get a white Christmas AGAIN but today was as good a day as any, especially because we didn't have anything on this morning.  

Snow is such an unusual thing to us Auckland kiwis that it always gives us a sense of excitement and wonder - it becomes hard to leave the window.  We're still at the house and every window offers another, prettier view of the flakes falling, and everything getting covered in a pretty white powder.  Each object is topped by white and becomes a magical item.

It has snowed most of the morning but is now sort of melting and turning into slush. I got some tartan gumboots from Jbird for Christmas, they're going to come in handy this afternoon as we move away from this winter wonderland, back to the flat.
