So it snowed in my town for the first time in 40 years this week.

I thought this video captured it pretty well. Enjoy:

That was awesome. My grandma has a picture of my city with two inches of snow on the ground back in the '70s. Hasn't snowed and stuck since.

We got a very tiny bit up in Auckland. I don't know anyone (even my grandparents who have lived here for over 60 years) who has seen it snow here before. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

That video was lovely; clair de lune was a perfect choice for it.

Snow really does bring joy to people.

I'm bumping this cause it's pretty and you were all probably sleeping last night when it was posted.

Enjoy.
