Snow! I still remember standing at cold bus stops in the morning and couldn't feel me body below the ankles. Driving a m'cycle and side car 12 miles through 6" of the stuff to and from work. No thanks, that's one of the reasons I came to sunny Australia. looks great on a Christmas Card but thats the best place for it
Snow, yes I remember that stuff some forty years ago. –42 was coldest I have been thru. You could not bend electrical cable, PVC cover shattered like glass. No thanks I prefer Australian weather. Mind you I have seen snow in Blue Mountains when I lived there. It usually lasted for one day and that was enough for me.
I quite like the snow. Never saw it till I moved to Oberon, and I've enjoyed it ever since... but then we don't get that much. I enjoy heaps of snow like that too, on occasion - I can appreciate that when you live in it for a long time it can wear thin.
It was good to meet you whilst you were down here and I hope the
new posting and your future professional life pans out well for you.
Take heart you are not missing much observing wise at the moment.
When you left Australia, the general problem was there was not enough water.
Environmentally speaking, that is undoubtedly still true in many parts,
but from an observational perspective, many would complain
we have had too much. However, unlike Wisconsin, it's been mostly in the
liquid state rather than the solid state.
