Snow in September

Yesterday we were told that the weather forecast for today was snow and cold temperatures. However, yesterday's high temperature was somewhere around 80 degrees. We were a bit sceptical to say the least. Our doubts were proven inaccurate this morning when we woke up to a below freezing temperature and snow. We were flabbergasted! Never in our lives had we seen snow in the month of September, but living in Mongolia changes a lot of things. Some of you reading this may think that snow now is horrible, but we are rather relieved that it is colder. Four days ago the heat for our building was turned on; however, it was still 70 degrees during the day. We were about to roast in our apartment. So, we are thankful that we now have a reason for our heat to be running.
Around noon we walked to the open air market to do some shopping. We bundled up and set out into the snow. I am not talking about a snow sprinkle. I am talking almost blizzard like conditions. Our shopping was productive even though we got a little cold at times.
Now we are bundled up at home enjoying some hot chocolate and the rest of our Saturday!
