Update status: … is pleased with the weather
It’s only a couple of days until our annual snow ride and at this point, I couldn’t be more pleased with the weather. Aside from a good initial dump of snow a few weeks ago, the often brief Mount Donna Buang snow season was shaping up to be a fizzler. There was good precipitation throughout June, however the weather was generally quite warm and snow was not looking likely.
Heck… about a week ago, I was even starting to wonder if I’d actually missed my chance 2010.
But no.
This is Melbourne.
And nothing is certain with Melbourne weather.
So today, I was quite pleased to find the following.
And even more pleased to see this.
Honestly. What more could I ask for?


Good luck, be safe, and have fun for this weekend. Remember, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger! (Although certainly try not to do the former anyway…). These _are_ the memories that you’ll be able to pack away into your suitcase of courage for future use.
Hmmm.. one set of my friends are doing a snow ride on one side of the world, and another are doing Marmotte (again) this weekend in the other hemisphere. I haven’t become soft now… have I? :)
