Hi all

Normally in Port Huon we see snow on the higher peaks in the distance during winter but today it was falling to sea level and staying as snow a couple of hundred meters above sea level

Nice to look at but a bit on the chilly side

Regards Don

Hi Southace

The ship is the Ronja Huon leased by Huon Aquaculture and she is a bathing and transport ship for their Salmon around the different fish farm sites on the river and in the channel

They suck them in, give them a bath and spit them out and cart them around in it and when she comes up the river at night she is lit up like a cruise liner and looks quite impressive

We had a high of a balmy 5.6 degrees today and the grader at work spent the day running backwards and forwards over the same 2 or 3 kilometer highest (about 370 meters) section of highway between Hobart and the Huon keeping the road open

That's not snow... This is what we left behind in Canada, a typical winter's day.





Don't miss it one little bit

Eldest son is working on the three capes track. They had to walk out today as you can't do stonework under a foot of snow.and the ice makes working on steep grades dangerous.
Sounds like a pretty impressive project. Good for Tasmania.
