It snows regularly in the mountains each year, but although we reach minus 3 and 4, snow is rare. When we did get snow, it was September (spring)and at least 3 to 4mm thick. Quite a few cars broke down, the highway was blocked and others took what they thought was a short cut, only to get bogged on dirt back roads. Our local State Emergency Service ordered KFC chicken, and all those stranded were fed and warmed in our local (pop 200) memorial hall. Exciting stuff for us country folk...Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882229240289840845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687269124795443524.post-62227159065182100772009-12-22T14:02:56.252+00:002009-12-22T14:02:56.252+00:00Hi FF

There'll be something else next week.<br /><br />Hi Helen<br />Does Australia EVER get snow? I don't think you do, do you?<br /><br />I wonder when it was you last saw it?Ken Devinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01659672111856249878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687269124795443524.post-75445775070499457962009-12-22T12:05:38.822+00:002009-12-22T12:05:38.822+00:00Ken, good to hear of you and your friends having a...Ken, good to hear of you and your friends having a good time - especially in the car park afterwards. I hadn't heard about the snow problem. I'll have to google it. There's always something isn't there? Must be a sign of the times... I'm with you on learning things about yourself and others. It's quite eye opening to say the least...Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882229240289840845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687269124795443524.post-10973515605381192632009-12-22T09:53:29.756+00:002009-12-22T09:53:29.756+00:00Hurrah - at last you've managed to get Bev wit...Hurrah - at last you've managed to get Bev with a snowball.
