More snow pix!

Firstly let's have a reminder why you turn the camera's flash off before getting snow pics ;-) Still, it's a good indication of how cold it was outside.

As promised, here's the snow falling at dawn.
Taken from the front door, looking out toward the nutty neighbour's and across the water race.

The dogs were spectacularly unimpressed by the inconvenience.
Pood became so attached to the fire she nearly climbed inside it.

Dawn on Day 2. Looking out the kitchen window towards our paddocks. The horses were sheltering under the pine trees down the back, the pig was in her hut, and the cattle were standing around the frozen trough moaning about it all. Pretty though, wasn't it :-)

An hour later and Mr Pheasant strolled into view, in laconical pursuit of his wife who was out shopping. (She is just out of frame)

Speaking of snow birds, the aviary fared well (once Wayne put up another support in the huge centre flight, as we have to do when it snows). The canopy of snow as usual formed an igloo effect, and the birds are snug and warm, catching all the morning sun and none of the wind.

Just some of the icicles hanging around the place today. Watch your step!
