We have had a very long winter with a dump of a foot of snow on Boxing Day night which hung about for ages as the temperature did not rise above zero for weeks.
We had another foot of very wet snow a few weeks ago which stuck to and broke the overhead electric lines. Perth city had no snow at all, but west of Perth was a whole different world.
On December 28th, I cleared the yard with a forklift and bucket, and made a big pile of snow 10 feet high. In a normal year, this would have lasted a month at most, but incredibly the last of it is going today – three months after it was piled up.
