Never gets cold enough here.
Snow is some weird soft white stuff, which apparently piles up on the ground once a year, that other people get to encounter.

I just love the T-Rex, coming up for nine years old now and is my most used piece of astro gear. Still snowing here by the way.

Too cold for an old fellow like me to make a snowman but the next door kiddies made a family of snow people a couple of days ago but are now looking somewhat sorry for themselves after a bit rain set in this morning. I'm always amused when tourists who visit Blackheath when it snows jump out of their cars for a few seconds, mobiles in hand, take pics and rush off onwards for another photo shoot. The snow people certainly had their fair share of lookers.

Thanks. I loved the first photos also.
I heard that Tenterfield may get snow which is West of here...but a plea went out to potential tourists to bring their own water..I had no idea it was so tuff over there...so if they get snow I expect folk will be gathering it up and putting it in tanks... Well maybe not they may not be able to figure that out.
