Phoned up my big sister to tell her that it was 5 degrees here the night before last (felt a **** sight colder than that in the windchill) and she said it had only just scraped into positive figures all day up in the Southern Highlands. Was chatting to the lady in the petrol station about it and she said her hubby who is a bricky was working in Bowral and said they'd have a couple of centimetres of snow.

Are you lot joking?

I'm not coming

If it's not sunny and 27 degrees all year round I'm staying put

Think of the responses I get as a Canadian!

Reedy

No joke - cold nose and toes here!!!! Widespread frost affecting mainland areas from Southern QLD to Tasmania according to the Weather Girl - it is snowing in the alpine regions too!!!

Now where is that hot water bottle???

TiddlyPom

Oh shut up, the lot of you.

It was 2 degrees here last night and we had snow.

Enough of your whining.

Reedy

I want snow If it has to be cold - snow will soften the blow.

Did you have enough to make snowmen?????

TiddlyPom

No. It snowed for about 20 seconds and all the tourists from Sydney started squealing 'Look, snow! It's snowing!' and jumping up and down excitedly, whilst the locals all looked so happy and said 'Yay' in a dull monotone.
Then it melted.

There's more out Lithgow way apparently. If even a couple of cm's falls here, the kids all take the day off school. I can't believe I used to go to school and stand in the massive drifts of white stuff. They're so nesh here.

Reedy

They close the schools in the UK when it snows too!!! We used to have to go as kids too until there was more than about 6 inches then they would send us home.......

I love the snow - but hate it when it turns to ice 'cos you can guarantee I will be the one on my butt

We even used to go and play in the snow drifts on the mountains when I was a kid and walk across the hedges as the snow was that deep - I must be getting old 'cos I was going to write:

They don't have snow any more like they did when we were kids!!!

Nu-Shooz

LOL, we are so nieve before we get here. It just feels so cold because these houses were built for summer, not winter. Wish they would introduce central heating.

Reedy

Decent windows would be a start!

Here we go whinging again

Nu-Shooz

It's not whinging, just stating facts A little guidance for our sister country never hurt anyone.

Reedy

I really don't get the window issue at all!!!!! It is about 5 degrees warmer when the blinds are down as the windows are so crap!!!! I am sure if I pushed them they would fall out - they rattle and shake like mad in the wind

TiddlyPom

I remember making a snow arm chair out of a drift so I could sit down and wait for the school bus one year.

Eeeee, they don't know they're born.

Reedy

We spent days making an igloo in the garden once - chapped hands and faces only to be told that our dad wouldn't let us in there in case it collapsed....

So we sat outside in the cold and looked at it, bringing all the neighbours in to see our masterpiece - it took weeks to melt too......
