Still snowing like crazy! Check the webcam on the MaplewoodOnline home page (not the discussion forum) for live pictures.
I heard the thunder too ... that's really weird. I think I've only heard/seen thunder snow once before. |

My kids wore sandals that they found this weekend. They did have stockings on thankfully. I said "your feet might get wet in those sandals if it rains". "No mommy, our feet won't get wet!"
So much for trying to be a flexible mom. |

It's really coming down in the city - huge white flakes.
Is it supposed to stick? are they saying any accumulation?

From the looks of things here now, I'd say it won't last. The snow has slowed quite a bit and the flakes are much smaller and lighter. And the stuff that has stuck seems to be melting already. |

No snow at all in Hackensack that I've seen. They had the A/C on when I came to work and it was 60 degrees in my office. They seem to have turned the heat on now because it's about 69.
I wouldn't have believed you guys - figured it's a late April fools joke - but I just checked weather.com for maplewood and it says snow & thunder.
Ooops, just the very minute I started typing this - it started to snow!!! |

The interesting meteorological conditions you refer to are merely meant as a gentle reminder that it's time for Soda's reinstatement.

Well, friends, you may all be amused to learn that over the last 24 hours it snowed for the first time this year just an hour and a half to the east of my home!! That's the Falls Creek area, for anyone who knows our snowfields. It's bloody freezing tonight too, so I suspect there will be another snowfall for tomorrow morning. Have had to resort to our first log fire - ironic considering how hot it was two weeks ago (well over 100 degrees in your temperature scale). Official opening of the snow season is in mid-June!
Oh, and anyone who knows people in Katherine, Northern Territory (I believe there is quite an American colony there, it's flooding.
Brrrrr!! |

Nope, Duncan - closest I've come was a very short cruise to Fiji over 20 years ago. Yeah, I know - not very close, and not even American!!!
My connection is through LibraryLady, a close friend who let me share her world by introducing me to MOL some time ago. As a community development worker and insatiable busy-body, I quickly found it addictive and so much better than a TV soap. MOL compensates for my lack of a social life due to long working hours, and a relatively small local community.
I'm starting to think I really need to get a passport and save for a US trip, though - most of you feel like family now. some of you have even entered my dreams and I'm not sure if that is a good or a bad thing!!
Oh, JTA, I've answered your e-mail. |

We're about 4 or 5 hours to the west of there, with the Snowy Mountains in the way, I think. I haven't actually been to Eden but have friends who go there for short holidays or weekends away.
It may have been a lucky escape for you, Mem - I hear it's a lovely place but very rural/small village in lifestyle for those who live there all year round. |

Joanne,
Eden is a beautiful place but there weren't many people and there was absolutely nothing to do except go to the beach or gamble at the pub. It's way too remote for me, I felt like I was on another planet. Yes, it was a lucky escape.
Cheers! |

Oh Mem, you wouldn't recognise Eden now! Sea-change/tourist focussed; somewhat yuppie (do people still call them yuppies?); still with that sleepy approach to life but with bigger town politics sneaking in...Kind of like a retirement haven/fishing village amalgam. A bit like Bryon Bay in that respect, only I think Byron has the bigger population (all those getting-too-old-for-it surfers, and dropped-back-in-again-dropouts)
More thread drift: I wish I wish a bit closer to you all just now - I desperately need a decent pedicure (cracked heels like the Grand Canyon) and all the local places are very heavily booked. I need a place near today's workplace where I can just pop in after my big meeting and fix it, cheap. *sigh* With my current schedule, I can't find a window to book an appointment until after Easter!

Joanne,
I was there in 1998. Has it changed that much? We spent three weeks driving down the coast from Sydney to Melbourne. I won $5000 at the Melbourne Cup, my 1st horse race, after he showed me how to study the racing form.
I like Melbourne better than Sydney, it's like their NY as Sydney is to our LA. |

There's been a lot of sudden growth in many of the more prominent 'secret holiday' spots of New South Wales - my town has been known for the last 3 years as the fastest growing area of NSW, and most people know it as a great spot for retirement golf. There has been heavy promotion of the Sapphire Coast and improvments made to roads so it's easier to get there. I think you'd find it's changed.
Lucky you, with the Cup!!! Maybe I should ask you to check this year's field for me, in November??
Agree with you about Melbourne - but hey, I was born there and didn't leave until I was 31...! |
