"Those don't look like Nikau palms. What kind of palms are they?"

Nope, they are not the native Nikau. They are an imported species, not sure of the name, quite a big specimen, but quite common in public parks etc around the country.

More Snow...

Falling to around sea level, and in places that haven't had snow in living memory.

The back lawn this morning



Trees in the back garden







Snow Angel  ;D



Kindergarten is closed today, but we went for a walk down there and took some pics for the kids when they get back.



The palm trees again.



Sun has just come out, but it's only a short break. More cold showers for the afternoon and tomorrow.

 That snow angel sure is a pretty one Ian, it is fun to see her grow through the pics you put on here of her.

Ian, Our place, one of the places that haven't had snow in living memory I've lived around here for 40 years and this is a first, what a way to start whitebait season.


I was just saying to Jan yesterday that spring must be here, the magnolia is starting to flower, I've seen ducklings in the bottom paddocks and the lambs are dropping like mad.  I guess that I should have kept my mouth shut.

Thanks for the snow pictures Ian and Ernie.

This old Southern boy thought it was gonna snow in Michigan last week.  52° in August !!!  It certainly was not 52° in Mississippi today.  What a difference a few miles make.   :-\

Our weather here is pretty much daily showers or rain and hitting 70-78 degrees when the sun comes out. This morning is 65 before daylight.

Our snow can begin anytime after September, but doesn't take much until at least November. The last few years except '08 we haven't had any stick around until mid January. Last year it was mid 40's from Christmas up until mid January. I am looking forward to some good hard crust for sled'n. ;)

Palm trees and snow? Some thing's not right. Strange weather on the other side of the earth.
