Big Chill

[ballaratdragons]

The southern part of Oz is in a big chill at the moment.
Rowena must be freezing up in the Snowy Mountains!

Here I am like a big kid out enjoying the snow this morning. (It is still snowing and getting heavier!!)

[cometcatcher]

Snow? What is this 'snow'?

25 degrees here. :P

[janoskiss]

Wow! it looks like a blizzard, Ken. I wanna go scoping this weekend to the Otways, to show some of the highlights of the Southern skies to a friend of a friend visiting from Italy. It might be too cold though. I don't like the prospect of frosty optics. :cold:

[iceman]

ooh nice, we're expected to get that cold snap here in Sydney this afternoon. Although i'm quite sure it won't snow :)

[vindictive666]

:rofl: :scared: :thumbsup: :innocent: :wink2: :lol: ;)

[ballaratdragons]

Steve,

The weather report said it might snow in Melbourne this afternoon!!!!!
First time for many, many years.

Hobart is supposed to have snow at sea-level today!! so Tom will be in the thick of it.

Kevin, can you email some of that warmth down to me please mate?

[Striker]

I have never seen snow...even though I would love to go skieing one day you can keep it ken.

[ballaratdragons]

Gee, thanks Tony.

Grampianstars is probably snowed in at the moment. It is pretty heavy!!

[h0ughy]

no wonder its cold there. BTW you made a big mistake Ken, you showed your face :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Photoshopping here we come :lol:

[cometcatcher]

I'd like to experience snow for a day and then never see it again I think. :D

This country is such a contrast of climates from north to south.

[ballaratdragons]

Yep Houghy, it's cold! And the temp here is usually a few degrees lower than Ballarats Temp.

PhotoShop? Gee, what's that! :ashamed: :innocent:

[Daring Dave]

I just heard its been snowing in Ballarat, Eltham, Craigburn, Mornington and of all places Torquay !

[elusiver]

[Daring Dave]

It might be one of Ken's big FANGS ! :wink2:

[ving]

mwahahaha!!!

[acropolite]

We seemed to have missed most of the snow down in the NE Tas area, just a sprinkling on the mountains to the east, maybe tomorrow. This is what it looks like after a reasonable dump on the mountains.:cold:

[ballaratdragons]

That's a pretty picture Phil.

Looks like one of those ones they use for Jigsaw Puzzles.

And NO ellex & Dave! that's not one of my fangs or an icicle.
It's a meteorite passing through the Nose Nebula and entering the Mouth Region in the constellation of 'Cold-Personus'

Yep it got really cold up here on Moday night too ... must have been 15 deg Min :help3: out at the Garma Festival, a big festival held by the local Yolngu people.
A great night of local Culture topped off by a performance by "Yothu Yindi" a local band from here that has been know to do the odd world tour or 2. :thumbsup:

[cahullian]

Gee you guys make me laugh...it's still shorts and t-shirt weather. I think winter has by-passed Newcastle this year. And me a winter person : (
Gimme the snow anyday.

[cometcatcher]

The cold front finally hit. It's a freezing 11 degrees now. Brrrr. :D :cold:

[ballaratdragons]

I'll gladly swap you. It's minus 2 here and I am out of fire wood! We have a tiny electric heater on in the lougeroom and it's freezing!

[h0ughy]

don't count out that brand new computer of yours Ken. it would pack out the heat from those frozen fingers typing away on it :rofl:

[ballaratdragons]

Lol houghy. My fingers won't work properly. Even had trouble making them work when I was drawing. :help3: :o

[gaa_ian]

Lots of snow ... thats great :thumbsup: a bunch of high school kids from Nhulunbuy are off to the snow right now, something they have been fundraising all year for.
Bring it on (wish I was there too, I love Snow Sking :D )

[ballaratdragons]

Boy oh Boy are they going to feel the cold! From Nhulunbuy!!!!

[ballaratdragons]

Here is a pic of my back paddock this morning!!!!

[[1ponders]]

Hey it sounds cold enough to be Duckadang. At least it didn't snow there. Weird today though. It was 12 deg at 8 am and 6 deg by lunch time and its still 6 deg now. That just doesn't happen here!!! I wish it would snow here though. You guys that haven't seen it don't know what you're missing. Playing in the snow is in the top 5 things my family likes to do. Except my wife. She's from Christchurch :lol:

[ballaratdragons]

Yes Paul, Snow is fun. You tend to forget the cold when it's snowing.

Yesterday when we had the heavy falls the school let the kids out in it to play for about 2 hours!!

[h0ughy]

See the teachers are not dumb they know when the kids are completely ape, and when to let them go :rofl:

[ballaratdragons]

Ha! According to the teachers themselves they had more fun in the snow than the kids did!! While the kids where just standing in it letting it fall on them or kicking it about, the teachers had a snowball fight.

Which ones are the kids?? Good on them.

Hey, they got out of teaching for a couple of hours and the principal is on holidays in Perth LOL!

[Starkler]

This is where I had to work yesterday.
Comms gear always breaks when its too hot , or in this case too cold :(

[ballaratdragons]

Where were you Geoff? It looks like the hills east of Melbourne.

[Starkler]

It was at a place called MtWorth , just south of Warragul in Gippsland.

[cometcatcher]

Ok, now I'm cold. It's not supposed to get this cold here lol. :cold: Maybe it will snow soon. :lol:

[gaa_ian]

Hmm ... Gove:
