4,000 feet snow is not rare for June in the highlands lol. Really, April is a month of contrasts but it is not hard for it to snow in the Northern half of the British Isles (at sea level).

We often get our worst snow at the tail end of the season.

4000ft snow during summer isn't rare for southern South Island either. In some years Sep -Oct can be the snowiest time also.

The snow on the hills around here has disappeared rapidly -down to just the deep gullies etc, of the lower half above the snow line. The tops are still pretty solid, but it'll be gone by Christmas, with this pesky el-nino kicking in now.

Very interesting. Our asses are boiling over here in AUS and you guys are still in a freezer. And we're at the same hemisphere....

Trees are mostly in leaf now, although as the photo shows, there are still some that are bare.

A weak bit of thunder this morning, and a whole millimetre of rain. Mild and humid though, with the 6.00 am temperature at 17C.

Feel like I could smell the moisture in the air. Neat catci there. Like the stormy sky in the last one.

Definitely. I actually had that 1st Spring moment sensation we get in April here when you feel the warmth, smell the dirt and see the new blooms.

Nice pics Joe.

And of course can't forget to say thanks to marlaver for those snowy photos. Awesome.
