Hail The Christmas Spirit

Summery Melbourne Has A White Christmas

Photographs copyright: PATRICIA D'COSTA

These are unedited photographs sent to me by a longtime friend, Patricia D'Costa, a former flight attendant whom I have known for 25 years. Remember how I wrote (see the post Jack and Chill from yesterday) about freeways being closed because of hail? She was on the M1 (the Monash Freeway, as Melburnians know it) on Christmas morning. Traffic was at a standstill as emergency crews worked to clear the road surface. As you can see from the bottom left-hand quadrant of her second photograph, conditions were so bad that cars had their headlights on.
