Hi Guys

Love hearing about the snow. better than sticking your head in the fridge to get some cooling. I asked my dear old dad some years ago when I asked him "Dad since we immigrated to Australia, have you missed the snow" and he said, "Son, I don't miss ta bit and I don't care if I never see any again" "nice to look at when it first comes, But when stops and it all turns to mush". "Nope you can have it" I wouldn't mind experiencing once though. OK guys got to go and ge my shorts and go outside and tan up a bit. Ha Ha.

Cheers

Tony, this is Canader we're talking about. Sure it may be snowing and colder than frk, but we still go outside in our shorts. At least until the weather really shuts down then we put our tuques on.

Ever got a sunburn off'n a snowbank? It's a thing here...

Why would you complain about Snow? Beats bushfires anyday.

Get out and go for a drive.

Hi Bruce and Tony

Bruce; I have read you can get a good tan from snow reflection, I also hear refection is bad for the eyes as well, hence sunglasses.

Tony; Living in Lithgow I know you can have both, Snow and bushfires, but mate, I live in a small town in the Adelaide Hills and I have had my fair share of fighting bushfires, more than enough for a lifetime. Like you we all look to the sky on extreme heat days and wait for that smoke smell and fire siren. We have been saved more than once by those Canadian tanker planes dropping their loads on the fires. I hope we don't have to rely on those brave guys again this season. Fingers crossed.

It was only 10 inches ( I suspect 12 inches that compacted to 10 inches due to how wet it was.

A real pain to shovel as it weight a ton.

45 Horse power tractor with 6 foot blower was almost stalling the engine and /or the chute would pack up with slush which needs manual clearing....making sure the blower is stopped.......a few year ago a policeman cleaning is driveway got a jam and tried to clean it while running the auger....... got sucked in to the waist........

Now it really looks like Xmas.

Cleaning up the two driveway, around the house, around the barn, shelter roof takes almost the full day......

would take the rain from Phil anytime.

People trampeling over others at Costco and Canadian tire to obtain road salt and Salsa chips, my god there is snow on the forcast. (Hint: Probably turn to rain but we can try)
