A large storm the size of Australia was headed our way across the Tasman we were told on Friday. Snow was expected down to low levels and Southland farmers were advised to get their new-born lambs under cover. Hopefully they did, because further South they copped it. Here we got off with only a slight dusting on the hilltops.

You know it's spring when ... you get pretty pink cherry blossoms hidden from view by flakes of snow!

In the North Island they had very high winds and heaps of rain, trees came down bringing power lines with them. So, lucky Dunedin had a few snow flakes adn it was a bit chilly, but very pretty!
