SNOWSTORM IN THE RANGES

It's been so exciting to wait for the snow to fall in Victoria due to the antarctic blast this weekend but the forecast as always was just so unpredictable and for the first time, I was frustrated at the current fluctuation of snow vs. rain.

It was of course well worth the wait to sit in the car while a thin sheet of snow began to fall. I was more prepared for the rainfall which the forecast had promised but eventually the raindrops turned into fluffy flakes of snow. Mt. Macedon is actually quite close to where I live but we all know it would never snow in suburbia. I could say this is actually the first time I've seen real snow fall from the sky and I don't count the snow they make in blowers at ski resorts when there's not enough snow from the night before. I'm sure that winter would definitely more fun to experience for a day in Europe or in the States but I got to taste an hour of frozen fingertips and numb toes. Keeping a close eye on the Macedon forecast is now on my winter to-do list just so I can have another day like this.
