The backyard.
Walked closer
Next door neighbours manfern over our fence.
Daffodils are supposed to be somewhere up against the fence. There is a small pond somewhere there.
View just out the front door and neighbours front yard.
Above looking down the hill. Yes, it's garbage day.
Looking to the right down the hill.
Looking to the left down the hill.
Home above. The snow falling off some of the solar panels on the roof and on the otherside doing the same, there are heaps more panels.
Next door neighbours above.
Part of the garden, see one daffodil.

Steps from the patio to the back door.

Good morning Margaret: I can only imagine the kind of excitement this event would have caused. When our first snow arrives I can assure that everyone will just take it in stride!
ReplyDeleteMorning David, it's 12.30am and I'm still up.
DeleteSo much excitement there was from everyone that I saw. Saw snow on Mt. Arthur, Mt. Barrow and Ben Lomond as the clouds cleared, amazing the snow that is up there.
Well you are all used to snow :)
The sails above the vehicle were resting on the roof, it's a wonder those sails didn't pull away from where they are hinged. The view from inside towards the hills was amazing. We have a good view inside the house.
I can imagine the excitement you felt! : ))
ReplyDeleteOver joyed Catarina.
DeleteVolver a donde vivimos nos alegra Margaret y nos trae muchos recuerdos. Muy refrescantes tus fotos tanta nieve. Nosotros tenemos mucho calor.
ReplyDeleteBuen jueves. Cuídate.
Un abrazo.
Maybe the snow photos will make you cooler :)
DeleteIt must be the talk of the neighborhood, this doesn't happen too often. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteEveryone is talking about the snow, some places in Tasmania never received any at all! Many photos on social media and on the news.
DeleteHave fun
ReplyDeleteI did :) thanks.
DeleteGoodafternoon Mararet!Welcome with the snow!!a little bit early is it not??Or do you have snow in Australia?
ReplyDeletewonderful photoes from your beautiful house and garden!You live in a good place :)
I quees all the children are out and having fun in the snow!We have snow on the mountains border but do not expect it downtown before Octobre
Enjoy wintertime!
Thanks Anita.
DeleteNo Australia doesn't usually have snow other than in the high country, not in the tropics though.
It's most unusual for us to have had snow but we also get it in the highlands and on top of mountains most winters if it's cold enough.
Hello Margaret,
ReplyDeleteThat's very special to see snow now.
In the Netherlands it's very hot at this time with temperatures above 30 degrees.
Your photos are proof, very special and well done!!
Greetings, Marco
Maybe my snow photos will cool you down. When it's above 30 deg it's getting warm.
DeleteThank you.
I can't imagine snow in Tasmania, but it must be true, your pictures say so.
ReplyDeleteWe have a heatwave coming tomorrow.
Hard for us to imagine having snow here Rosemary apart from on the mountains if it's cold enough.
DeleteKeep cool.
Wow! I can imagine what an exciting day that was for children. I’m imagining them all outside making snow balls, snow angels, and of course, having a taste! You have a lovely view of mountains from your home.
ReplyDeleteGreat excitement Cynthia. Grandchildren that live in the same area were out making snow persons :)
DeleteWe are very fortunate to have a good view of the hills and mountains, the house next door does stop some of the view but what we have is enough as we can see..
Wow.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very long time since I have seen snow like that in my city. We get occasional dustings but real falls like that are rare. And exciting.
Wonderful photos.
Stay warm, stay safe.
Very rare here, first time ever at our place was a good 2 inches.
DeleteDon't even remember a dusting of snow where we live.
wow it looks awesome
ReplyDeleteIt was Gosia :)
DeleteMagical to see. Not so magical to experience. Our friend in West Launceston lost power that morning. She was not happy. Kind neighbours with a gas stove brought her in Thermoses of hot water.
ReplyDeleteWas magic and for me it wasn't cold, but that's me still in summer clothes with a cardigan on.
DeleteIt's not good not having power, no heat if you don't have firewood and you can't boil the jug, lucky to have a nice neighbour. The power never went out here.
My skiing days are well and truly over.
ReplyDeleteIt does look magical but you may keep it down there.
The cold here is enough for me and with 4 pending days of rain
that's cold enough for me.
Fantastic views of the countryside from your home.
Cheers
Colin
Snow has all gone except on the mountains, the days are lovely with sun all day. I'm not cold here but you would be.
DeleteSeems you have had a lot of rain.
Such lovely photos
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo-Anne.
DeleteHow wonderful to see snow at your house. We have never had snow here at our place but very rarely it has been on Mt Lofty but by the time we drive there it is gone!I hope your plants survive under the snow, not sure if it harms them, but I guess you will find out. Enjoy it while you can and I hope you are warm inside.
ReplyDeleteWe have been like you, seen a dusting of snow on the mountains taken off to see only to find it's gone when we get there :)
DeleteThe snow won't harm out plants, frost will if it's too harsh but the plants we have are not frost tender except for the maiden hair fern but that's partly under cover.
Yes, I'm warm when the wind comes it's cold, cut you in half as they say :)
Yes, that's the snow news, there is no more it's gone, some left on the mountains.
ReplyDeleteWell--- you can always talk about the snow of 2020! At least it's not a pandemic or a government run by clowns. Fun pictures! And fun memories.
ReplyDeleteYes we all can talk and remember the day it snowed in my city.
DeleteThanks. The Politicians had nothing to do with it, thanks goodness :)
Wow! How wonderful! I am feeling excited for you! How long will the snow last before it melts away? Hope your plants are not damaged by the snow.
ReplyDeleteSnow is gone Nancy, was gone that night only in the very shaded area of the house did it last overnight. Mountains, a little left on them.
DeleteFantastic!!! Pleases My Heart
ReplyDeleteCheers
Well that's good, helps you to keep cool too by looking at it.
DeleteOh my! It's freaky world out there!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is Andy.
DeleteSnowy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes it was.
DeleteThe garbage bins in our city are green in color.
ReplyDeleteSnow is always a beautiful sight - white coverage of roads, roofs, mountains, trees and plants! Hope you've enjoyed the sight!
Sure did enjoy looking at that snow, all gone now.
DeleteWe have green bin lids for recycling grass clippings, pruning from the garden.
La nieve siempre se ve preciosa. Por aquí tampoco nieva mucho, ahora hace demasiado calor. Besos.
ReplyDeleteSummer time for you Teresa..we sometimes have snow on the mountains but first time here at home ever.
DeleteWow That tells you something about the climate. It was quite a fall too.
ReplyDeleteGood fall of snow and it was wonderful to see. Probably won't happen again for years, will have to wait and see I suppose.
DeleteIt will be a few months yet until we see some snow here in NH, but then there have been reports of October snowfalls early.I enjoyed seeing these scenes on a very warm day today, Margaret. Thanks for the cool down!
