19 - 21-Aug-2011 - Snow Trip *PLEASE CONFIRM ASAP*

[mika]

Neo, I can give you a ride up but I'm planning on leaving early friday morning (probably 6.30-7.00am) and obviously I won't be going anywhere near the city.

Thanks mika,

I would had definatly come with you (I would have slept in olinda), but I'm not going to be able to make it now...



I didn't get all the out of business hours work done this (yet another long) weekend and I can't put it off anymore because we have big network links going in that we can't use till I finish the head office network, but we have to start paying for them. If I hadn't had to go to Sydney last week I probably could have made it still.

I hope you guys have a great trip and get to sleep in igloos and ski behind the cars, get video of someone rolling it in the snow and michael, dan and harleys junk hold together!

Cheers,

Neo.

Sorry to hear that Neo.

reports of snow on the way! http://www.theage.com.au/environment/we ... 1ity5.html
I was getting worried as there wouldnt be much snow left at the moment so this should help.

[Greg]

don't worry Jonno. I now have a rear recovery point!

That means you'll now be able to get me unstuck backwards

[Jonno]

Great, all u need is a UHF and u comply with the min vehicle requirements to participate in a club trip

[mika]

Sorry to hear too Neo.
Just been told there was no snow at all on Skene over this last weekend, hoping there some good falls in next few days.

That's not a bad excuse, I'll pay that. Take it easy John.

That's too bad John and Neo.

John - Seems like that part of the world can get all the help it can get at the moment.

There may very well be snow on the mountain this weekend:

http://www.theage.com.au/environment/we ... 1ity5.html

"Snow is forecast to fall on peaks down to 1200 metres by Wednesday night, and continue through Thursday and possibly Friday."

"The weather in Melbourne is expected to fine up for the weekend, with sunny conditions and a maximum of 19 degrees forecast for Sunday."

Promising.
