Over the last couple of days we've experienced snow to lake level, cold temperatures and a brisk wind. There have been a lot of people talking about it being unseasonal, but Greg and I can't remember a November in our last 4 that hasn't had at least one bout of winter in it. Apparently it almost always coincides with the tour of Southland - like it did yesterday! But regardless of whether it's unseasonal or not, it's still very pretty to wake up to everything dusted in icing sugar snow.
Taken from the front door, looking towards Cecil Peak (that's a bit of ice on the table and seats)
The boat, still with some slushy ice/snow remaining
The gondola, with Ben Lomond in behind it - the other direction from the deck by the front door.
Looking back towards our driveway from the road, up at the Remarkables
Top of the drive, looking towards Halfway Bay, where you can see the snow is quite thick right down to lake level
For all we love seeing snow on the hills, we're hoping it warms up quite considerably by the time Ken and Barbara (Greg's Parents) arrive next Friday. These temperatures might be a bit of a shock to the system for the Aucklanders! :-)

Keep the snow on them thar hills - just clear it off the runway. Love your shots, especially the one of your deck with the blossoms - absolutely beautiful! Doesn't a frosting of snow always look spectacular... Bring it on!!!
