Snow and Australia.

I’ve never pictured the two in the same sentence.

It snowed in and around Ballarat, parts of Gippsland in eastern Victoria, stretching south to the coast, leading to the closure of some schools and roads. And light snow was reported along the west coast. The weather bureau says it is almost unprecedented for snow to fall at sea level, but yesterday there were reports of snow at Phillip Island, Mornington Peninsula and in Melbourne’s eastern and northern suburbs.

I went to some Australian friends blogs to see if the snow merited a mention.
ar arr arrr. I stopped by Caleb’s blog. He’s a friend who is living down under. He hasn’t posted much since this friendly game of rugby:

To feed that fire, I was also a victim of school yard politics. That’s right. A victim. Just because I’m Canadian. And haven’t played much rugby. I was picked last. Even after Mitch, who hurt his ankle and couldn’t move properly.

Granted I do suck. But by the end I was going alright. And scored the winning try.

Which will be my only consolation as I find my self paralyzed with pain this evening when both calves cramp in the middle of the night. Oh, it’s coming. You know it is.
