Smile Snow

It's snowing!

I hope it keeps going tonight. Now that I live out of town, I might not be able to get in...

Al - it was snowing down on our place yesterday too, apparently. A bit of a snap in the air, what!

I don't know. It was pretty hit and miss. The snow was coming down pretty heavy in big flakes in town just before I left work, but no sign of it at home 10ks away. Basically just showers, not widespread.

Fingers crossed for tonight though!

The bureau is predicting snow down to 900 metres tonight so there might even be a dusting out our way.

That will stop puss going out for early morning piddles.

Cheers

Nice coverage here this morning. The grass is still peeping through though, so not enough to stop me getting to work... Hopefully we'll get more during the day.

Wish it would get cold enough here for me to make snow.....
Can even be done at 5degC if the humidity is right.
Would love to freak someone out by covering their car or lawn in snow!

Snow, you can have it. Still have memories of standing in 6 inches of the stuff waiting for a bus to work and couldn't feel anything below my ankles. Nice to to see on an Xmas card, best place for it

I agree, snow is nice to look at if it's at a distance! I'm just back from Hobart where there was snow on the top of Mt Wellington - close enough to visit if you're that way inclined.
