Brrrrr

It's been snowing / sleeting all day today but the what snow here was was so wet it wouldn't settle... till about 3:30pm:D. If the snow keeps up tonight it will lay well but with a treacherous ice layer underneath it, so the roads will be lethal...:(

BTW these are a few of the first photos from my new camera - an Olympus E-510. Taken with IS on at full 150mm (300mm 35mm equiv.). I am happy so far - images seem very sharp even with the kit lens. I'll test it out as I get to know it;). (I know it's not a Canon... but when I'm ready to go deep sky I'll be looking for a 300D or 350D;)).

Yep! Surrounded by good old aussie wet sub alpine snow!;) With a bit of luck it won't be so wet in the morning though! I do love the snow (we don't get enough to get sick of it) ... as long as I'm not lying injured in it!:lol:

Thanx for the images Al. Looks cold but I have been to Oberon a few times, I would live there in a flash if I could.

We had sleet today too, and it was 1 degree at midday, yet the temp in Ballarat was 9.

38k makes a big difference in temps.

Our rain and sleet was horizontal coz of the gale force winds making it like a blizzard!!!!
