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. 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!

Don't worry Dave, if you're lucky there'll be more!

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!!!!
