Snow in Lindfield

Global warming? More like global cooling. Unbelievable scenes in our garden this afternoon.

Our front lawn:




The front garden:



I never thought I'd see our windowsill looking like this:



If this weather keeps up, we can always turn the pool into an ice rink:



It's so pretty!



The Weather Bureau says it was "hail". They are wrong. It all fell within a few minutes. We made snowballs. We threw them. It is snow.

We've always wanted to live in Tasmania, now we don't need to move.

It was hail...I live in Lindfield...the last time it snowed on the North Shore genuinely was in the 1960's in the higher parts of Hornsby (~200m elevation). Even then it was only for a short time and did not settle. With global warming we've just about ruined our chances of Sydney snow ever happening again. It did, however, resemble slushy snow as it melted...it was too warm to snow anyway. Obviously you have never experienced a real snow shower.
