Snow Day

We know that many of our friends live with piles of snow all winter.  Well we don't get much, just every ten years or so on the high hills surrounding Wellington.  But not like this, not on our street which is at sea level and not at the zoo which is about five minutes drive from our house.  The poor lions and chimps are chilly!!

When mum walked home from work, there it was hail and thunder and lightning.  Exciting!!

  5. Yikes! We understand it's very scary and dangerous for you there, when no one is accustomed to the snow and to such cold weather. We hope it warms up for you soon, Poppy!

  6. Our blizzard of last February had what they called "thunder snow". It was lightening and thundering during the blinding blizzard! Crazy weather! Hoping you don't get so much it paralyses you from going out!

  10. I love snow which isn't common here to us. I loved the white Christmas 2010 we got, rare here. I was as excited as any child. Take care in your wacky weather.
