First snowfall finally in Sheffield, Canterbury. Very brief.

Nice! It's really the first snowfall of the year? Is it normally this late?

No, not usually. It didn’t snow much either today. A few wisps.

When I was a kid I lived somewhere that snowed everywhere (in rural Taranaki). But I don't remember what time of the year this was, I was probably 5 years old or something.
