August Weather

[sheeny]

Here's the summary from my weather station for August. Its been a bit chilly, and a bit cloudy which hasn't helped me to do astronomy.:rolleyes: But a bit of snow is always fun, when you don't get enough to make it drudgery.:) I awoke this morning to another dusting of snow.

LOL my daughter slept out at taronga zoo last night for the girl guide sleepout - she said by text she froze her assets off with the wind and the morning temps, but it was a beautiful sunrise but still brisk in the shade. by the way things were last night i knew it must have been snowing locally
