Sleet!

There's sleet here! Sleet! And they've had snow in Civic!

This is as close as I've ever been to real, dinky-die snow!

I love Canberra!

I discovered how much I like arid and bush areas and just never got around to it.

I saw it snow once in Melbourne on a humid 35+ day. While doing my meat inspection course, we went to big industrial freezers that were 18 degrees below zero. They opened the big sliding doors, all the hot air raced in, and fell as little snowflakes.

on my second last visit to Canberra (mid 80's) I went up during a cold snap in Victoria. It was the first time snow fell in Boronia in 30 years and as I drove up the Hume Hwy there was snow all the way to the capital. I was there 3 days & it still hadn't melted in the shadows! If you like cold boy, you gone to the right town. I was in the tropics 2 weeks ago....
