Let it............snow??

Well, it was forecast, but pretty amazing nonetheless.  Queensland is Australia's 'tropical' state, but being at about 2500 feet/ 760metres elevation we do occasionally get snow here, about every eight years.  We haven't had this much snow though since 1984, which was prior to us buying Whistlestop.

Today the builders are not on site, wisely listening to the forecast and choosing an inside job elsewhere, and I had plans to catch up with the painting, and preparing the hardwood verandah timber.  Scrap that!!

The builders framed up the portico entry roof yesterday, which is quite a difficult exercise in geometry, but they did a great job and it's going to look stunning!!  Once the framing of the portico is completed they can install the remaining roof sheets, which will have a big 'V' cutout in them where they intersect the portico roof, and then the Trainbarn will be snow..... I mean water-tight.

The snow started falling about 1 am (don't ask me how I know that) but has stopped now.  Overall I'd say we've had about 4 inches/ 100mm, which isn't too shabby!

Here are a couple of other shots from around the place.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring!!
