Monday was the shortest day of the year. Its all downhill to summer from here.
Today winter really let us know what time of year it is. Nelson awoke this morning to snow down to 450m, which is the lowest snow around here in a decade. It meant the hilltops around the valley I live in were white, like the tops of chocolate muffins sprinkled with icing sugar. The mountain ranges to the south, which had the icing sugar look before, are now thickly covered in almond icing. Many roads out of town were closed this morning and only opened up to 'essential' traffic this afternoon. The risk of black-ice will be great tonight. I'm glad I don't have to drive anywhere.
