snow in Australia

I do recall seeing snow fall in Sydney nearly 20 years ago, but it melted as soon as it hit the ground. The pics Jow saw were probably of our hailstorm last weekend.

Are you sure? Its looks as good as snow to me, or do you work for the Sydney Tourist Office (joke honestly)
Last week you may recall I offered Sydney rain, and look what they got.

Freezing cold winters so cold that your ears stung, playing school soccer in the snow, smog so thick you could barely see 20 feet in front of you, lots of fatalities on the road in winter due to black ice, arrogant shop stewards calling strike action at the drop of a hat, pious public servants (a bit like here really), limited entry to tertiary education etc etc.
Sorry, would find it hard to go back to that.

:eek: I can't imagine anyone wanting to go back to Birmingham for any reason having managed to escape two feet away let alone several thousand miles it's the most miserable place in Britain with Leeds being a close second..

I'd never go back either, I love Aus.:D
