It's snowing this Christmas in Melbourne!


Who would have thought it possible? From bushfires burning across the state to heavy showers, hail and thunder! There was even talk all week of snow in the alpine region.

Choosing our Christmas theme this year we must have had some sort of unusual synchronicity with Mother Nature choosing a winter Christmas theme, captured in Austria last year. Premonition perhaps? Oliver seems to have had an impressionable warning of this freak future event.

"Premonitions... a vague feeling of disquiet suggesting impending disaster to actual visual or auditory hallucinations. Premonition is sometimes referred to as a "gut-level" feeling. The sensation tends to occur prior to disasters ... and other traumatic and emotionally charged events."

Checking the snow cams up at Mt. Buller, it appears that snow is falling on the summit! It's currently -3.0 degrees C with snow showers. A white Christmas - who would have thought?
