Well the prayers of small children were answered today. School was cancelled and it snowed extensively throughout Southern Tasmania. The Huon Valley was inundated with snow.
The predictions of snow to sea level were correct with several beaches being covered with a delicious layer of white. Social media is of course a buzz with photos galore of this not impossible, but infrequent happening.
So Fortylegs of course was primed to have a dousing of the white stuff and it did not disappoint.

There was at least 3 inches of snow on ground first thing this morning. The hills were covered heavily.

Cows were handed this morning and pigs refused to get out of bed when breakfast was provided. Frozen troughs had ice broken and chickens stayed in their coop.

The kids are already asking if it will all happen again tomorrow. Having school cancelled was just too much fun. Don't know when we will get a repeat of this day, but I can't wait for it.
