This morning a friend of ours had to take her husband to the local airport so she stopped in here after she dropped him off and went to church with us. It was cold and snowing very lightly when we left. During the service it had snowed a bit, but after we had lunch it really started to come down. About 2:00pm our friend thought she should head for home before it got too bad. Would have loved it if she could have stayed longer, but it was good she left when she did. It had been quite breezy all morning, but after she left it really started to blow hard. The snow was so light and powdery the wind whipped it off the roofs and everywhere else and created total white-out conditions...I couldn't even see our neighbours' house across the road!
It was -7 degrees Celsius and the wind continued to howl, our lights flickered several times then went out just before we went to bed. By next morning the electricity was back on and you could see the grass and roads were fairly clear but had icy spots on them and it was still windy but nice and sunny.
It had been so spring-like the past couple of weeks but winter did come and leave rather quickly! Yeah!!! Snow is nice when it falls on the mountains!
