It snowed last night, and I took this picture just in case it melted today.
In fact, it barely got above freezing, so the snow stayed.
Which meant I had to clean off the car (the white one in the middle of the picture) for the first time this winter. I’m not complaining! We do need the moisture.

BEAUTIFUL!
oh the views. I love it all.
they’re just doing our weather as I write this.
more thunderstorms but should just be rain after tonight. YES!
I’m with you. Yay, moisture!
as you can imagine “no snow here” but we did get a passing glimpse of a cyclone that went further down the islands, wrecking it’s winding way through various area…some have been hard hit with road “jaw dropping” messes….
How unusual is that? We don’t get tornadoes here, but tammy does.
it’s not unusual at this time of the year – somehow the round globe that we all live on has a sloping edge that weather extreme streams like to swish down here – sometimes they come in via the Tasman sea (that’s the ditch betw Aussie and NZ) which is where this one streamed down or the come down the other side along the Pacific…
but Auckland being a narrow band of land, can take a battering from any side – we in Auck got off lightly – I’ve post 3 pictures at my blog, one shows the beach front on ?Tuesday…rough and windy – and yes rain did come – but I was back indoors by then…
Great photographs of very pretty scenes.
Thank you.
Looks like you’re having weather very similar to ours. But the wind! It’s been nonstop, it feels like, for several weeks. (Never mind the several sunny calm days that show up now and then.) The wind is unusual, no doubt one of those climate change signs (surely not a normal variation:) )
We vote by mail; can also use ballot drop boxes for our sealed envelopes. It’s easy, but lacks the pleasures of chatting with the precinct people.
We’re used to a lot of wind down here, especially in the Spring. Just before we left Ithaca one of the faculty wives said the thing she remembered most about here was the wind. It will be interesting to see if it’s the new normal for you.
I know what you mean about the pleasures of voting in person. Here there are essentially no lines, it’s close, and the people are friendly.
