    We're having a blizzard! It's warmed up enough (about -6C) that the flakes are big and fat and wet and coming down really fast. I might go make a snowman... if I can talk my kids into getting into their snowgear.

    I get what you mean about tropical Violet Snow ! - Page 2 809779 it makes everyone's mood much more pleasant as well. I think it's cause it feels so spring-like.

    The blizzard started about an hour ago and is going strong. Came a bit early, it wasn't forecast until Saturday.

    Our weather report said late today, we got it this morning it didn't stick though, rain sleet and snow, the temperature dropped very sharply this afternoon, they're saying it's here until the new year now.

    it is hardly surprising though, with the snow coming so early. i'm not sure if you know but prncpl 7 wrote a novel about blizzards and world changes he sent me last christmas. it was very easy to feel an eerie sense of foreboding reading it. he published under the name "peter galloway."
    if you wanted milder fun, you should have done an oprah, and come to oz, this from ninemsn;
    People dreaming of a white Christmas should head to Victoria's mountains this year, where a cold snap has caused snowfalls of up to 10 centimetres.

    Victorian Snow Report spokeswoman Maureen Gearon said Mt Hotham had 10 centimetres of snow fall on Sunday and Mt Buller had three to five centimetres.

    "It is a blanket of white, which is beautiful at this time of year, people are out in their Santa hats taking photos in the snow," Ms Gearon told AAP.

    "It's still quite cold so we think there'll be a bit of snow around on Christmas Day, which will be a real treat."

    With temperatures forecast to reach minimums of -2C in the mountains on Wednesday, before warming up to reach highs of 18C on Christmas Day, Ms Gearon said a few patches of snow might still be around in the valleys on Christmas Day.

    "There might be enough to throw a few snowballs," she said.

    Given up on going to Kent for christmas/new year. It's shaping up exactly as it did 3 or 4 years back when it took 12 hours to get to London by rail [ supposed to be 3 hours ] so we will have Ostara instead of Yule.

    I did a trial driving down to Teesside yesterday [ 25 miles ] - not good ! and it gets worse as you go South.

    Update [lol]. The rail link has been cut by fallen power lines.
    Maybe this is a viable option ? Snow ! - Page 2 864271

    Journey South OK. Gave myself a treat by travelling 1st. class on the train. The journey was "white" the whole way down. London was bl..... cold, Kent was bl...... cold. I caught a heavy cold [ still got it ! ]. Went up town to the West End to see Bill Bailey's show [ very good ! ] and to a Thai restaurant for dinner. No mega trauma on the way home.
    Beat the VAT increase and bought a new desktop - all singing and dancing 64-bit, Windows 7. Nothing works yet because I need a new modem/router.
    Met a new singer at my daughters. I dont like pop but this singer is good, worth a look in i-Tunes. Her name is Sara Lilly [ shades of Souixsie and early Fleetwood Mac ]
    Gordon Bennett - its cold again !

    Sunday 8th. Three inches of snow and freezing. Pics when I get to grips with new PC [ 64-bit OS and Windows 7 - OMG !]

    Actually, a word of praise for Tiscali aka TalkTalk. I ordered router on Thursday and it arrived Saturday free of charge - amazing service.
