Now we look for frozen mammoths and bog people from the last ice age. Next millenium they will be discovering frozen amateur astronomers who were waiting up for a transit.

Houghy, I just took a shot of the windows at the back of the house for you to show that the snow is horizontal coz of the strong wind. Those windows are my control room

When we got up this morning we had maybe 2" of snow, but the cold temps meant there was a good solid layer of ice underneath. The road was ice all the way from home to work (about 4ks). Great fun, of course... It's been a long time since I seen the roads in town that icy. Just a pity we didn;t get more snow - the conditions would've been excellent for it to lay for a while.

An absolute fizzer, here

The day was sunny and comparatively mild compared with yesterday.

Not a single snowflake to be seen, even with the forecast and all the hype we had on the TV and radio.

Would have been nice to be in Orange today. They got some good falls, I hear.

Bit of a fizzer here too Matt.

It snowed lightly for most of the night, and by morning the rain turned it to mush. Then the rest of today has been nice and sunny! Now it's freezing cold again and earlier I saw the occasional snowflake, but now it's a starry, but lightly misty, sky.

I'd say that's the end of any snow until another cold front comes through.
