Here comes winter!

Today it snowed for the first time since we arrived.

The weather has been getting progressively colder over the last 3 weeks and today the rain showers we have become accustomed to lately, fell as snow instead. Nothing spectacular and it turned to water as soon as it hit the ground (or me). The photo doesn't really show it, but if you zoom it up and look hard enough you can see the snow flakes.
I thought I would be excited like I was last year in New Zealand, but it was just as annoying and wet as rain except it took longer to hit the ground. I'm thinking the 3rd week of Autumn is far too early for snow.
It's going to be a long cold winter!
