Well its been snowing here in Southend on and off all day with sunny spell in between the snow/sleet currently have about 1-2cm "dusting" with more still falling.
The snow dose not bother me irs the high winds, constant at 20-25mph but the gusts are 25-40mph with a few freak guts topping that.
Already lost a couple of slates off the roof so if I'm still here in the morning I will post an update.

We've just come off a week around the 40 degree mark. Hottest days were Wed 43, Thu 43, and Fri 45 deg.  Haven't seen snow in 20 years, but remember it as something white, cold, and fluffy ;D. Should anyone have too much of that stuff in the area, please send it to Melbourne. Any surplus is welcome. |

Reached 40 C here today, max for tommorrow is also 40 C, though they are saying we may break the record of 42.2 C. Cooling down about mid week. Will hopefully manage to get to the computer fair next Saturday for more parts for the new pc.
