What's the temperature where you are???

[Finchbreeder]

Now your horrible weather on the east coast makes my 11C and weak sunshine at 9.28AM on a Thursday seem quite pleasant - when just a minute ago I was grumbling about it. The West coast really is more pleasant.

6.30p.m. A frosty real feel of 47.5F / 8.6C but the dogs were happy to get out. I ran into a friend who has just returned from a two month trek around America, starting in Chicago. He's headed back to see Texas and some footy in February. He loved the summer there.

Dusting of snow for parts of the ACT, NSW, Tas and Victoria amid Antarctic blast​

1 day ago​

Up to 40 centimetres of snow has fallen in some parts of south-east Australia just days before the start of Spring.

Good for wine​

Cool-climate vignerons near Orange welcomed the conditions which left vineyards covered in snow.

Emily Swift, who owns a winery in Orange, said it was beautiful to wake up to snow everywhere.

"We love the snow on our vines because the snow has a lot of nutrients in it," Ms Swift said.

"The fact the snow melts slowly means those beautiful nutrients are soaked into the soil and the vines love it.

"It doesn't hurt the vines at all but it's more about the nutritional value going into the soil.

"It makes for a great start to the season."

The alpine region, including the higher parts of the ACT, has also been blanketed in snow, including well over half a metre of fresh falls across Thredbo and Perisher since the storm commenced on Wednesday.

First snow here is called poor man’s fertilizer. Farmers will plow it into the fields - there is a chemical reaction in the atmosphere which creates nitrogen with precipitation.

This is why grass greens up after a spring rain (or any rain really) - not because of the rain itself but because of the nitrogen!

It was 7C here this morning - but it’s warmed up to a pleasant 23C with some high clouds.

Typical Autumn weather - cold at night mild during the day.

Sunshine, blue sky, light wind and hope it stays that way!

@EmmaDonovan how is your flock doing now? I hope they are better. You were having so much difficulty with them.
