The snow is here and turning the roads into chaos, with traffic jams and accidents.

Don't you just love this crazy world. Some regions of Victoria topped the 45oC mark a couple of days ago.
Send the snow here.
Thanks for the geography lesson James!!
Hoping for a regression toward the mean as to snowfall. 37F now.
Judy,  
Woo hoo!  Glad to hear it.  We're headed to Australia for Xmas and I really need some sun!  Record rain here in the Seattle area is just yucky.
