The only time ive ever seen snow is when I went to chicago in November 2007 and then it was only icy sort of stuff (cant remember what it was called). Nobody told me you are supposed to wear gloves when you attempt a snowman and then you arent supposed to run hot water over your hands straight away to try warm them up again! duh! My state in Aussieland NEVER gets snow..EVER! We usually swim on Christmas day and chuck some snags on the barbie LOL. Im not sure we reach minus temps either... Stay safe everyone who is going to be affected by the storms. Keep warm too.

So far we have 14 inches of the stuff in the back yard. Not sure what the official total is tho. We are suppose to get at least another 4-6 inches today. Then blowing and drifting sets in causing blizzard conditions with below zero temps. So far everything has shut down schools, state capitol, bus service, everything. My son got hired by the city to shovel snow last night from 1 am until 1:00 pm today. Making $20/hr. It took my husband 2 hours to travel what normally takes 20min. He was gone 4 hours total on gruelling roads to get him to work. I am not looking forward to picking him up. They say there are alot of down power lines as well. The neighbor kids where out building snow men last night by our driveway. It is very wet, heavy packing snow. Just perfect for forts, snowmen, snowball fights, etc.

Isn't Christmas in the middle of your summer? Sometimes I forget the seasons are reversed down under. "snags on the barbie" got me too. I thought Brit speak was hard to figure out.

Helen,
I don't think you talk funny, just the British words are different or have different meanings to us Americans.

I can probably understand all British accents except maybe Yorkshire.

I watched a show with David Tennant on it and I was shock that he was using a fake accent on Dr Who. It sounded like his real accent was Cockney.

Did you know that when Mad Max was played in theaters in the USA they dubbed it in American.

Heavy winds blew through here yesterday, garbage day, with the usual disappearance of garbage and recycling recepticals. A business sign or two blown out and my electricity had a short outage.

Looking up at the trees in the back yard, a squirrel's nest used last year but abandoned this year is completely gone, but higher up and facing an open west wind is a snug dreamer of nuts with his nest still fully intact. Not bad. I was wondering about him building one up that high branched out prey to a winter's westerly wind. I guess they're not so amateur at this hibernation thing.

Take heed electric company.

Winds continue but just a blowing film of white, not much snow - yet.
