But wait! There’s more!

Snow that is.

I have to say I’m quite disappointed by my disappointment in snow. I think it comes from the fact that I imagined snow everywhere to be magical and romantic, but didn’t consider that life goes on even when snow is thick on the ground. And I’m tired of trying to get on with life with snow about! If we were forced to stay inside and admire it, then I would probably not be disgruntled by this week’s snowfall.

Someone who is beside himself with today’s snowfall is Stu. It’s his birthday today (or yesterday, depending on your longitude) and it’s forecast to snow all week! He has gone to bed hoping that it snows overnight so there’ll be ‘a gazillion’ cm of snow to wake up to.

He took a video of it falling today:

(Extra special mention needs to be made about capturing the ‘mawp mawp’ of the police car/truck/something bossy)

Happy Birthday Stu!

March 9 also signifies 1 month until we touch down in Tassie. Time is going by fast, we better savour our time here while there’s some left!

Happy Birthday Stu! Enjoy the snow while you can! Though it is possibly more exciting here (or for school kids anyway) that the chance of snow means the chance of a day off due to road closures etc – but the real thing is fun in small doses, so long as you have warm stuff to wrap up in.

Wow, what’s going on with that car in the middle there? Which side of the road do they drive on again? the middle?!

oooh.. you guys should just leave you camera pointed out the window for hours…. watching these daggy videos makes me feel like I’m there! Especially since it is relatively cold here today.

Hey guys,

#Thomas – yes, the middle. Seriously. Over wherever is most convenient/least pot-holed. But yeah, that car was on the Australian side – which may solve the mystery of which of the cars was beeping…

#Sal – don’t you worry, I’ve got the mother of all Dad-videos planned (pun… I mean Dad-joke intended).

Thanks for the well-wishes. That video was yesterday arvo. It kept snowing all night so I woke up to a good 30cm on my birthday! To quote myself: “that was awesome!”. ;)

Byee.
