I KNOW IT'S WINTER BUT !!!

I know its winter and there is snow on the mouintain (if I could see it for the clouds) The snow is now down well past what is showing at the top of my blog. This is what greeted us this morning, This is the first time we have had a heavy fall of snow in our part of town !

Pretty to look at but oh so cold !

THIS IS TODAY

Its a wonderful crisp sunny winter's day here. lovely after all the heavy rain and strong winds of the past few days. Paul came in to say the mountain  (Mt Egmont) had a good coating of snow and suggested I grabbed the camera and we would go for a drive.

Here are a few of the photos I took. this first one was taken about 8 min drive from our house.

a little further along the road.

and lastly this one was taken beside  Mountain House which is at 845 metres and 10 km from Stratford.

(Mt Egmont is 2518 metres high)
