Snow!

 Today was a lovely snow day. This is rare in my part of Australia.

Snow IN Bathurst!

A few days ago I excitedly wrote about snow NEAR Bathurst. Today we awoke to snow IN Bathurst. We enjoyed making Australian and Vietnamese snowmen!

During January, when I am having my summer holidays, my northern hemisphere colleagues email me to say that their university is closed due to a "snow day". At the moment, my northern hemisphere colleagues are having their summer holidays and we actually have had snow near (but not in) Bathurst! Ben (my PhD student from Vietnam) and her son enjoyed a new experience playing in the snow together and I have never seen so much snow falling in my life. The university won't be closed due to a snow day - but it is an exciting event for us.
