In this he coins the word "Thinder" for "thin thunder". I reckon that is a nice word like 'snice'.<br /><br />MartinFlabmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934077052437339591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-37193736034250684892012-09-02T14:22:44.279+10:002012-09-02T14:22:44.279+10:00Thanks Keith, Mick and Martin.

I remember a series of late frosts in Canberra, (October) which included a -9. It killed lots of hardy shrubs. <br />The extra few degrees make a huge difference.<br />Mick, the Daffs are not troubled by frost or snice. Some are finishing off, but the ones which are still out are shining brightly, as ever.<br />Keith, do what the Wombats do and keep snuffling around. Something will turn up to amuse you. <br />Maybe some Truffles?<br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-43627507368300263402012-09-02T12:50:29.123+10:002012-09-02T12:50:29.123+10:00Snot fair you getting snice & us getting snuff...Snot fair you getting snice & us getting snuffing :(<br />Keith.<br />http://woodsrunnersdiary.blogspot.com.au/<br />Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562001301604097606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-87935918377081108912012-09-02T04:49:18.273+10:002012-09-02T04:49:18.273+10:00Very pretty!

I guess I could manage OK if its gone in a couple of days. How did your daffodils manage or are they all finished?mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230845410313320080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-35167896841007586702012-09-01T21:38:26.207+10:002012-09-01T21:38:26.207+10:00Denis

In fact at home we got nothing measurable in the gauge at all yesterday: the rain/hail/snow stayed on the Western side of the Taliesin Hills.<br /><br />Today however we were greeted with -7 this morning (which whitened the place up) and strong SW winds all day. A friend from Canberra who keeps weather records reckons she hasn't seen frosts like this year in the 10 that she has lived here, <br /><br />That is certainly my view: I am <b><i>SO</i></b> over Winter.<br /><br />MartinFlabmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934077052437339591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-17901492808497376692012-09-01T20:28:19.529+10:002012-09-01T20:28:19.529+10:00Thanks Bronwen for using the word for me.
