Il a neigé aujourd'hui...
Une fois n'est pas coutume, j'écris en anglais et je m'excuse d'avance auprès des non-anglophones. J'essaierai peut-être de publier une traduction (si vous êtes bien sages !)*** SNOW REPORT SNOW REPORT SNOW REPORT***
8.23am
As Wanaka awoke on this misty, cold morning, Treble Cone unveiled its white, immaculate coat of powder to the eyes of the sceptical tourists. Warm, sunny days were only yesterday - warm, sunny days had run away.

As the day went, the southerly wind made its way to town, embracing every building, stroking every piece of life with rain and snow. The mountains had disappeared in the fog but I could glimpse the white slopes reaching down the valley secretively.

In a few desesperate gasps, the southerly wind finally cleared the grey, cotton layer away from the sky. The mountains were now standing proud in their wedding gowns, keen to celebrate the arrival of their beloved winter.

"Snow dust", the winter whispered disappointed to the mountains, "this is only snow dust..." Then screaming out loud to be heard, its prayer echoed in the valley "Please southerly wind, bring back the clouds, the cold and the rain. For I am the winter, and I wish for more white sparkles!" Moved by its old friend, the southerly wind sighed and brought back the clouds, the cold and the rain over the submissive township of Lake Wanaka.

The sun, who hadn't been invited to join, fought its way through the clouds and hit the slopes with its rays of light. Oh it wasn't warm anymore, for it was so tired from the busy summer and automn, but it wasn't time for winter just yet and its brave efforts won through the snow dust.

The southerly wind got really upset with the sun eating its white sparkles away from the moutain slopes, these white sparkles it had spread for its dear friend. With its lungs full of freezing cold breeze from the south, it started blowing, and blowing, and blowing. But the sun was tough and wouldn't let go.

update: 3.48pm
Tired of fighting against each other, the southerly wind and the sun finally managed to cohabit for the rest of the afternoon. The winter could wait a little longer for its white sparkles, there would still be plenty of time to marry the moutains of Wanaka before springs comes.
