Yesterday was an exciting day...... I just HAD to tell you all about it!!
After my walk yesterday ..... we gots home and I had my paws washed (it's a mum thing!!) ..... then the SKY went very very DARK. The temperature dropped, and it started raining and the wind picked up too. The rain looked like it was horizontals.
Mum said to dad dad - "somethings gonna blow"....
Then the weather exploded!!!!!
This is the footpath and verge across the street, you can see the waters rushing down our road and into the storm water drains. See the white stuffs ..... it was NOT snow....
It was little tiny balls of ICE, falling from the SKY. I haven't seen this before.
My entire garden got a smattering of white ice balls.
On my Moss Rock steps.....
Behind this statue.
EVERYWHERE.
I was rushing around sniffing it....
Tried licking it.... stomped around in it - see my paw steps!
Mum scooped some and said I can lick it...
Our rainwater tanks' filters blocked up and then we had a mini flood of standing water on the side patio...
Then the little ice balls floated under the washing line ...
See - mum called these "floating islands" and I had my paws in ICE WATER!!
So - We ALMOST had a "snow-like" feeling - the house across the street had white on its roof and on the ground around it ... but it wasn't snow it was little ice balls.
It's NEVER snowed on the Adelaide Plains .... but I reckon we got CLOSE!!
After mum finished her flashy box photos ..... we got towelled off and I rested on the couch under my blankie .... watching the rain from the warmth of inside. Mum looked at the temperature gauge and said it was 7.2 C outside. (44.6 F) - that's bbbrrrrr cold for US!
Later that day, my cousins Scarlet and Zoe came over - and look what happened:
Little Zoe had to wear her SNOW BOOTS!!!!
Too funny - don't ya think?????
(As long as mum doesn't make me put on mine!!)
