Love the picture.

Odd timing though, I even hear parts of the Adelaide hills and surrounds got a covering.

Gotta love Global Warming!

No doubt someone will claim this is because of the introduction of some sort of environmental levy or some such in the last few months....

Cheers

I agree Chris. I reckon its that carbon tax that's done it.

Er no. Global warming has nothing to do with it. Last time snow fell in SA in October was 100 years ago. Nothing abnormal about it. I am sure if you check the records snow would have fallen in Goulburn in October before.

Friday October 12th 1923 Sydney Morning Herald:

Quote:
Snow fell again to-day on the southern table-lands, a phenomenal occurrence for this time of the year. When the midday train arrived at Goulburn from Harden it was covered with a mantle of snow, most of which fell during the Journey from Tarago to Goulburn. Wintry conditions have prevailed in Goulburn since.

It was really cold in Queanbeyan last night. First time I had to turn the gas heater on since I moved from Canberra.

I've found it's generally colder in Queanbeyan than in Canberra. Not sure what the deal is, but, I don't mind; I prefer the cold.

The cat absolutely loved being parked in front of the warmth. She didn't budge.

Saw the snow on the Brindabella's this morning as I drove in to work over Red Hill. Looked pretty.
