Snow!
Yesterday in Electronics, the teacher was updating the school websites snow day page. This was so that when it snowed, the principal can ring him up and get him to put the page up so people know what is going on. This was when I first heard that we were expecting Snow today. The last time we had snow in Dunedin was 23rd July 2007, this exact time last year.
When I woke up in the morning, there had been no snow at ground level. There was a light dusting on some of the hills around Dunedin, but not enough for school to be closed, or delayed. I was a little bumed because I would have enjoyed a Snow Day. Throughout the day, it was cold and windy, but it didn’t look like there could be snow.
well to my surprise, during the afternoon the weather was starting to turn. I went on through my last classes as per usual and as I left to go home, there was a little bit of snow fall. It was not much, and it quickly passed. Then later on when I got off the bus, it started to snow again, this time a big more. Although it didn’t last very long either, but more than the previous falling. A fair bit later, it started to snow pretty kinda heavy. I managed to get the snow fall on video. This lasted a reasonably long amount of time, but the snow didn’t settle
On another note, this was the first time I have tried out Flickr for video. I still think that Flickr should be for photos only. Although this case could be an exception, where a photo wouldn’t be quite the same as a short video. I suppose short clips you have taken with your camera are alright. The video service is pretty good, nothing revolutionary, but it ties in with Flickr pretty well. I may consider using it again for video where a photograph just wouldn’t show what a video could.
