Ymir Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 OMG it actually snowed down here!!!!!!! Our Norwegian forest cats have finally met snow and for a cat that normally lives it that type of environment (in the wild), they were not happy to be away from the heater!!! :slfg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 It is snowing here too but not settling on the ground at all. This is only the 2nd time I have seen it on the hills next to my house in the 40 years I have been here. Will post pics later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insect Direct Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I went up the into the foot hills (Horowhenua area) this morning, as I had only ever seen snow that low once before. Not sure why i took a photo of a power pole but anyway Imagine been a frog today And then camera went flat and i forgot the spare battery, so no pics of the stunning hills from a distance :facepalm: Thought that was cool, then this afternoon at about 3pm the snow came to town. It snowed for about two hours, still getting it on and off, about two inches on the ground. What a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
