Thankfully no. If we ever do get some snow, we're out in it taking
pictures. Happens about once every 5-10 years and seldom stays on the
ground for more than a couple of hours.

We seldom get southerlys but our best rain seems to come from the south
east
(if it ever bloody comes!). Most of both our hot and cold winds come from
the west.

Once past 25, when one's arse drops and is no longer the pert shape of
