Snow In November!

We  received quite a few phone calls and emails this morning asking how we survived last nights atrocious weather as the news agencies have picked it up so I thought it was good idea to update the blog.

The frost alarm went off shortly before midnight  so it was all systems go (or so we thought).

Just when we were about to crank up at 1am thick cloud rolled in and the wind picked up.  
Rather pleased about this until all of a sudden it started to snow!
That’s right, SNOW!
So for the rest of the night we were on edge as we watched the the snow fall and then the sky clear.
Every time the sky would clear we would go to crank up and then the snow would start again!
This cycle of snow and then clear skies continued throughout the night until 6am when we finally cranked up after the snow stopped  and the temperature dropped  to just below freezing. 

The snow that fell on the Orchard has melted away  but there is still a truckload of it on the mountain range as the photos I took an hour ago show.
