Rich.

yep -20 here and better than rain

- 10 C here, and it's finally stopped snowing . I've decided the weather network is wrong tho, they've been saying 2-4 cm over the last 24 hours, and we've had at least 18 inches. older lad (9) is loving it, had his first 'snow day' yesterday, but the toddler's not too sure, she hates having dirty hands, and is getting very upset cos the snow keeps sticking to her mitts!
btw - found a really easy way to shovel snow - I use it like a plow, and just push it into the pile the plow's put at the end of my path. also, a very nice neighbour has a plow on his pick-up and he's been doing my drive for me

I found the easiest way (other than getting someone else to do it!) is to use one of the 2' wide Alumin(i)um blades to push it to the side and then one of those shovels with edges and the curved backsaver handles to chuck the piles out of the way.

I guess we will be getting lots of practice here in the next 24 hours. not like out east though!

FWIW mines the same about snow on her mitts, or spilled food or anything like that!

Its snowing, its snowing!!!!!!!

Shut up. Please.

lol

Be nice! Remember, shes lives in Victoria now. Snow now has a novelty value for her.

Nice, my ar$e! We're looking at perhaps 30cm of novelty tonight. That will have to be shovelled before 7am tomorrow. We're talking about an hour; in the dark and likely sub-20.

On the plus side, I have just been informed by my boss that very likely I will be required to spend two weeks in Germany, France, Italy and Spain straight after the New Year. Dunno if I want to go, really.
