I travelled through Rising Bridge yesterday on my way to Bury and you looked like you had a good blanket of snow.....Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

[black_flights]

really. My mums going to hate that. I spend very little time in rising bridge because my boyfriend lives in clayton. Well despite me not liking snow I could always help my 5 yr old neice build snowmen she'd love that.

[Margaret Pilkington]

There was enough snow yesterday to build a fair snowman......don't know what it's like today.....maybe it has gone.

[black_flights]

probably as it did rain really hard last night. I haven't been out today so I wouldn't know. All this cold weather has given me a case of the sniffles. Or perhaps it was my boyfriends children, you know what kids ot like : )

I think when you live so far away, you're always a little homesick. Not that I would want to spend the winter in Baxenden now. However, I did used to love the snow there when I was a kid. I prefer the winters here in Florida now though. It's clear blue skies and about 66 F at the moment. Tomorrow is going to hit the low seventies. That'll do for me!

Oh.... make us sick why don't you John......I would love some of that.
I am just getting over a bad bout of bronchitis and would love some warm air and sunshine. Snow is Ok on the Christmas cards>

Quite right Margaret.."there's only 2 places for snow....On Xmas cards...and on teh top of mountains."

Unfortunately I live near the top of a mountain!

Totally agree with you both about snow. I don't mind looking at it but I don't like experiencing it. I'd love some of that Florida sunshine but the nearest I'll get is a box of oranges and grapefruits a friend sends me every year. There's nothing in Accy can hold a candle to them.

I don't think I could stand the snow and cold anymore. I have just come through a lovely Winter of 20- 26 C and am now looking forward to temps in the 30's and the inevitable summer thunderstorms which are typical for a Queensland summer. I can't remember snow anymore. I only see it in pics. If anyone manages to get some pics though of Accy in the snow I would love to see them on here.

My auntie is from australia and she send us christmas cards every year. They usually have pictures of glorious weather and christmas lights pinned up everywhere. Even though I don't particular like snow Christmas just doesn't seem Christmas without it.

I agree with that one. Last year my family in New Zealand gave me a Christmas card with a beach and a flowering Pohutakawa tree (NZ Christmas tree) in the picture. As beautiful as it looked with it's blazing red flowers, it didn't say Christmas to me..

[Terry]

Know exactly what you mean lettie. My first Christmas's in OZ were quite peculiar to say the least. The first one had a day 0f 112 F. I had to lie against the tiles in the bathroom to try and get a sensation of cool. It has taken quite a while believe me to get adjusted to hot Christmas's. I am quite used to it now of course and it seems quite normal. But even so our Xmas cards all seem to portray a white xmas. Funny that!

[black_flights]

hehe. probably to remind you of what your missing or not (snow or sun hmm know which one I'd choose) Apparently my mum had a call from my auntie in australia today. And to tell the truth I think she did send a card with a snowy landscape on this year
