Last night was the best fun I have had in ages!!!!!
About 8:30 my flatmates and i went driving around to look at all the beautiful snow. Went to uni QUT at Kelvin Grove. The sports oval was just white with thick mist coming off it. Then drove over to Toowong. (Heard that was the best hit.) Accidentally got my flatmates car bogged in the ice! Had to push it out. Stood knee deep in hail in the main street in toowong. Then "borrowed" a for rent sign outside a block of units and went toboganning in the park next to the wesley or coro drive. Ended up wet, dirty cold and sore. But I havent had fun like that in ages. Sorry to those who didnt enjoy it. Especially you Andy. That would have sucked. But to me, it was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

hear hear bus914... i think we humans need to take a look at what the weather is throwing at us.

this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.

I have some more pics, but they aren't as good.

These are Gympie Rd the next morning, and it was still there Saturday arvo. I guess it is what was shoveled off the road for the cars to get through.

i think this is definitely one of those days we will be telling our grandkids about...
with photos to prove it!

"one day, back in good ol' 05, we had this amazing storm, and brisbane was covered in ice... it was like snow in brisbane.. unheard of until then..."
