A couple of weeks ago, the meteorologists and local media were all frothing at the mouth as snow was predicted to reach sea level! The last time that happened was in 2015 and before that 1986, so a pretty rare treat. The sea level prediction didn’t eventuate but the hills around us in Dulcot got … More Mount Wellington after the snow
