Thanks for all the good ideas :)

Another Polar Outbreak!

I am super excited cos a big Antarctic snowstorm has hit Christchurch. It started snowing yesterday but it wasn't enough to turn the entire place into a winter wonderland. When I woke up this morning, I was in for a surprise.

Everything's covered in snow!

Our front yard



A view of our backyard

Snow is predicted for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and it’s supposed to be heavier than the one we had a few weeks ago.

If there's enough snow today, I might build a small igloo at our backyard. What else do you think I should make/ build with the snow? Any good ideas?

I'll write more as this cold event unfolds :)

It Finally Snowed in Christchurch

I woke up this morning to find everything covered in snow. Tree branches were coated in crystal ice, houses in my neigbourhood had snow caps on the roofs and everything else was blanketed in white. I couldn’t believe it was happening because I had waited 2 winters to experience this snow-vaganza. When it finally happened, it just felt magical. What I enjoyed the most was watching large snowflakes fall from the sky. It is the most beautiful sight I've ever seen.

It stopped snowing a few hours ago but I am still at awe watching the snow melting away. As I am typing this, my little snowman which is a bit crooked now, is melting to death. Goodbye my little friend. It was a pleasure making and dressing you. What a time we had while it snowed!

This is one winter I will remember forever. I leave you with these photos taken around the neighbourhood and city centre :)
