Pretty heavy dump you got there. All I had was a light dusting.

Looks beautiful out there!

Best we had this morning here in Vic at our place was a white lawn for 2 minutes during a hail storm.

We had a nice fall in Deloraine which was thoroughly enjoyed by kids and parents.

Good to see the photos, thanks.
Quite an unusual event. We got a little bit up on Kelcey Tier, was nice. Our boys were quite enthusiastic about seeing it come down, wanted to take the day off of school to go 'exploring'.
Their arguments were quite convincing, unfortunately I had to pretend to be a responsible parent. :mrgreen:
