It is cold in Canberra today. It rained most of last night and it brought the temperature right down today. It actually got cold enough to not only snow up on the mountains around us but also cold enough to snow around the centre of the city – although the snow melted almost as soon as it hit the ground.

This is one of the reasons we moved to Canberra – I love the things that happen in the cold climate. If I go outside tomorrow morning and find snow on the ground I’m declaring a snow day!
