[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 149669, member: 1991"] It's been snowing in the south east of Australia, too. They are saying that the temperatures tonight in Sydney are likely to be the coldest on record, for April. And last night was darn cold! For us, snow in April is almost unheard of. The southern Alps got 15 cm the other day, more yesterday. But it was also snowing just to the west of Sydney, in Lithgow and Bathurst as well as in the Blue Mountains. I mean, it sometimes snows there maybe on the coldest days of winter, every other year, so to snow in April before winter has even started - amazing. I saw the newspaper photos of it today. Again, like yours - big, fat flakes. Growing up in Sydney, within easy sight of the Blue Mountains (an hour's drive away) I never saw snow until a week-long school trip took us to the southern snowfields one August. A thin smear of ice, and we thought it was snow. I never saw snow falling until a few years ago, never REALLY saw big flakes in quantity until last year in New Zealand. We're heading in to more of this, but at least you're going to get your summer soon. I hope you didn't have any spring flowers trying to struggle through the soil. Marg [/QUOTE]
