Easter Outbreak

The first I saw of any snow was just on sunset yesterday when the cloud cleared for a short while. At midnight the snow was accumulating on the roof tops and around 7am this morning the storm intensified to the point that I could not see across the valley. Greg calls them Chook Feathers and that's what they were.

It's the biggest April fall I have seen in a long, long time. Of course, it will clear and the sun will warm up the ground again but it certainly adds to the Easter Holidays although mountain mud biking and the slippery bob sled will be closed until it dries.

The crows knew it was coming when they massed at dawn yesterday
