Sheep in England, where a cold snap has blanketed the country in snow. I shouldn’t really describe it as a cold snap, the weather is extreme and dangerous. People under 40 haven’t experienced these heavy snowfalls and extreme sub-zero temperatures before and it’s life-threatening.
It’s a little different in Australia where we see snow only in the high mountains and the High Country winter resorts employ snow-making machines in our coldest months.
Sheep in Australia, where we still lie in this long, long drought. People under 40 haven’t experienced any other weather but this. Like me, they can’t begin to imagine water falling from the sky in clumps.
Surely to goodness in these days of space rockets, satellites and sliced bread, something could be done about the imbalance?
Snow, after all, is just dirty water. A few of those container ships packed with snow would be a godsend Downunder.
