Absolutely pelting snow!!!

AussiePam · 08-09-2008, 09:37 PM

I'm in Canberra, the capital of Australia, where I live some of the time - and it's pelting snow. Big fluffy flakes. Has been snowing most of the day. I LOVE IT!! I'll be heading up a bit higher to plough some slopes next weekend. Can't wait. I shall spend this icy Sunday afternoon digging out my ski gear - may wear it right now.

Perhaps we could swap households in late fall here?

I've just come back from footy Pammy my hands are like icicles and I dare say if we get the rain expected it will become snow. It's insanely cold out there.

Wouldn't surprise me if there is snow before tonight

Forecast: Sunday Gippsland
Scattered showers. Snow falls developing down to 400 metres, with local hail and
isolated thunderstorms. A cold to very cold and mostly cloudy day with moderate
to locally fresh northwest to westerly winds.

that is right, your in winter and were in summer,

how cool is this?

AussiePam · 08-10-2008, 12:43 AM

Keep warm, Fuzzy. Sending you a bunch of snowflakes, Floppy. Please put this on my FG slate to balance out bad deeds I'm probably contemplating.

Odie - it's only a few degrees below freezing here at the moment, nothing by Toronto standards. And yes, winter here!!

Funny, you dont strike me as the typical Canberra-ian.
I would have laid money down that you were all kinds of Kalgoorlie-itan.

AussiePam · 08-10-2008, 03:23 PM

Thanks Chonsi, and Kathy.

Kalgoorlie is a mining town in Australia's far west, Nomad. I'm sure it's a neat place, but I've never been there. The people who live there are probably fine aussies too, so if you think this Sydney city girl is a good Kalgoorlian, I'll take that as a compliment. Thankyou!!

The snow's melted here today, though it's still very cold. Heavy falls of good skiing powder in the mountains - where I'll head next Sunday. Can't wait.

I just picked a funny sounding name off the globe.
It doesnt take much to amuse me.
