I was looking from the Carfax tower up High Street tinyurl.com/rosg2 , and dam there is some white buildings, and they clam the avg temp is about -3c over the next few day, what a nice winter day.

Roland I hope you don't get snowed in

going up to Echuca this weekend. Temps around 40^oC. Sounds like time to move between the pool and the air con with a slurpy in hand when it gets too hot in the shed.

NO I don't want to swap weather - I hate the cold

Yes it is a bit unusual, even for over here.
I was walking down High Street a couple of days ago.
It looks different today

Just been out in the Beetle to get supplies from shop as the forecast is 4" more snow today, and then freeze down to as low as -14C over the next few days.
I will post more pics if it gets worse.

If we get snowed in ? Nothing I can do
This is what winter used to be like here 40 years ago.

Yes its quite a contrast for me. -8C here on Monday, and 8 weeks ago I was in 50C at Ubirr Rock in NT.

Have a mate in Bristol and he reckons he'll be snowed in for a few days. Saw it coming so stocked up on supplies.

Yes, nothing new with this winter. This from 1978 and Robert Ritchie:

Gee you could see few things geting crushed by a over excited snow plough driver

Whatever that yellow machine is off the side i pity the poor bastard that has to start it up and drive it tommorrow

Gday all

Yes that is quite a pic from '78.
I was driving 100k each way to work that winter and saw snow that deep for weeks.
OK I know 100 k is not far by Oz standards , but it was in that snow.
Last night it was -8.6C here, and just 20k away it was -17.7C the lowest in the UK !
The snow is now turning to Ice and its getting difficult.

Anyone seen these in Oz ?

Yes I could not resist it

This pic is from last year but I have no doubt it is working hard again today.



Maggies are still used in many councils in the North of England and Scotland.
