Day 1.345: First day of winter

I've mentioned before how they love to point out the equinoxes and solstices and the 'official' passing of the seasons on the local weather forecast. The winter solstice occurred at seven this morning - and at almost exactly that moment it started to snow here.

For most of the day it was quite gentle, but for a while in the afternoon it was coming down very fast. The irony of us spending that hour making paper snowflakes was not lost on us.

Here are two videos of our experiences. The first is another shovelling time-lapse for fans of that kind of thing (or of watching the whole family scoot around on the driveway at high speed).


The second is a short slide-show set to some music from a former life.

  1. Be careful E5N1 doesn't get so mesmerised watching daddy that he freezes his little tootsies to the ground! Merry Christmas to all the Exiles!

  2. Should you have been warmer in the day, or the night...?
