Nothing remotely snow flake looking here in Lincoln, just FREEZING cold rain / wind. My 4 year old's birthday today and he's hanging out for snow today as a birthday treat

Don't know if he's going to be in luck. Learnt a big lesson this winter - when moving to a really cold place don't move into the lovely "character" farm cottage with no insulation.......BRRRRRR

The news is telling us that Queenstown got a short sharp dump of snow this morning. Closed the airport, disrupted traffic. Sounds like it must've been quite intense.
