There is a lovely big dense grey cloud with lots of stuff falling out of it, to the southwest at the momment, and I want it to move north a little because I think it's SNOWING!!! Least wise, it is very opaque, obscuring the hills, but doesn't show up on the radar as much at all. We might just be lucky and catch the edge but it is clear blue skies on the other side of the building.
Come on, snow here, you know you want to. Tuggeranong doesn't need it...
Sigh, nope, can see the blue sky behind it now. Oh well. Better luck next time.
And in other breaking news, the crimson rosella with the odd bend wing feather was back on the window sill earlier this morning. I fed him porridge.
Brain cells, concentration span, what are those?

Edit: But...

A.C.T. FORECAST: For the rest of today and Thursday
A few showers, falling as snow to around 600m today, with possible small hail and a thunderstorm.

We're at 770m above sea level here...:)

Edit2: And another useless piece of trivia is that Don Brash is listed in the Wikipedia as an ANU alumni member - apparently he started but didn't finish a PhD here a number of years ago. Helen Clark appears to also have started a PhD but not finished one. And is publically agnostic (again, according to Wikipedia, so possible grain of salt)
Kiwi politicians can occasionally be a suprisingly educated lot. Wonder what other contries this is true of?

Snowing now. Drifting and dancing past the window. Stopped and restarted again with finer flakes. Even the europeans are bouncing over it.
Puzzled parrots.
Wonder if kangaroos can ski?

And now I am watching kangaroos getting snowed on...:)
Yes, I know, easily amused.
Nice big snowflakes too, though moved on towards the city now. Not settling.
Hope it will snow when walking home.

You know you are in Australia when the emial goes around:
