Winton White Out

A few more photos from yesterday around snowy Winton. It snowed on and off all day before the rain arrived late this morning. Which was just as well as it melted the black ice that lay on the roads around the district and on the paths around the house earlier this morning- that stuff is treacherous- our steps were also iced over and very slippery.

           

The back yard before the kids hit the ground running-

The road outside after everyone had left for work-

Another church in the snow- Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Winton

A snowy short back and sides on the ute- worn like a badge of honour around town and into Invercargill where hardly any snow had fallen. A hint for newbies though- make sure your window is up when driving around a corner, a great clump of snow slipped of the edge and fell through the window and onto my lap.

A range of slightly weird and whacky snowmen took pride of place in many front yards-

Downtown Winton-

Extra hay kept these sheep happy, both as food and somewhere to lay down.

A wobbly exit from Winton Golf Club- 

And finally Ruby & Ollie with their snowman, and Ollie doing snow angels on the front lawn.
