Four-letter word, starts with "s"

That'd be "snow," which is falling and sticking around for the first time since last April. It started last night, but the occasional flake is coming down today. It isn't accumulating in great huge heaps – just a little white here and there – but it isn't simply vanishing on its way down, either. This marks the beginning of winter 2009-2010, whatever the silly solar calendar might say about when that starts.

Oh, we have that, too. It doesn't have to be either/or. Bleah!

Tis the opposite down here. Have switched to wearing Hawaiian shirts and sandals to work, and getting sunburnt hands and fore arms when driving. And before you think that is nice, try sleeping in 27 degree C heat without air con.

Cheers

We've had a few sprinkles, but it didn't stick around. This weekend looks like we're going to get 10cm, I'd guess 2-5cm of which will stick and signal the real start of winter.

We've got away remarkably well this year, so I'm going to keep the grumbling down to a dull roar :D
