No snow here (in Toronto ON) yet. I think Andreas would be more than happy to send you some snow. 😉

I wish I knew what I was gonna say :oP

Thanks Chris...aye it does... normally from November to March/April and this year even into may... there has been one date in May this year where we had almost 30 cm snow coming down over night...  so climate seems to change here a bit too, as winters extend longer into the new year than usually. We are lucky to have a garage for our cars, cause its definitly no fun to dig out your car before you have to go to work...LOL...

@Chris...yes, the snow only looks gorgeous in the pictures LOL!....but in real life it is not so nice.  Remember, you have to SHOVEL this stuff...the roads/walkways can be treacherous and when it does melt 6  months later you have tons of dirt/grime/garbage and dog doo that shows up!

Snow belongs at ski resorts only!!!!  LOL!

It's amazing that those of us who have the snow yearn for the warm weather while those that have the warm weather yearn for the snow!

@Radlafx...yeah...Toronto is the Bahamas of Canada!...go a few hundred km north....

@mermaid...beautiful pics...Switzerland?....I was there a long time ago...one of the prettiest countries in the world!

All joking aside...a fresh snowfall is very pretty.....as long as I'm sitting close to the fireplace....

@Chris...forgot to ask....I have heard that there are places in Australia that do get snow...is this true?

Haha Kort,
At least you can get warmer in the cold. So hard down here when Summer heat takes over the air conditioning even. When you walk outside like a heat wave hit you. Cars are boiling etc. Must have shoes on or paths will burn feet in seconds.

Hey Chris, ever tried frying an egg in the sun? Sun fried (NOT my photo) http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=691421&member

Actually you can fry egg on the road and footpaths. Believe me when summer hits when you work outside its like a heatwave hits you. You might complain about snow but we complain about the other extreme. Heat. Isnt looking good for this Summer down here either.

Roll on the winter I say, I need to sharpen my crampons soon.  I'm not too keen on fried eggs anyway!

Dianthus posted Sun, 12 November 2006 at 2:37 PM

Hi Aangus,

You get snow already where you live mate? If so how about sending some down this way:)

I have not seen any snow for a few years.  There are lots of snow images in the Terragen Gallery :~)
