Just after 11 am here and it's bright but chilly. In fact, compared to our usual early Jan weather, it's rather boiling :eek:



4.9c is very warm for your part of the world in winter.  :Shocked:

How thick?

Anything more than a sprinkle would bring the transport system to a halt here in the UK.

Are your roads still open?

I can't imagine living in a place where you just can't grab the key, get in the car and drive. How long does it take b4 you can drive away.  :question:

When we didn't have a garage for a few years we had at least 5 or 6 days a year where we had to de-ice the car after a heavy frost but no such hardship now  :happydance:

The climate changes, so you might once be lucky to clear your car from snow.
It takes me from 5 to 10 minutes before I'm ready to set off.

It's so warm here right now I'm not going to switch the electric blanket on - that'll save me a few bob.

Come to think of it, I don't have an electric blanket... that's saved me even more :D

Isn't it something to do with Mount Wellington blocking/diverting much of the weather?
As an aside, Hobart is the second driest capital city in Australia.... :)
