Ok so a Tasmanian Winter Wonderland isn't the same as what you might traditionally think of, but you have to admit that it is pretty.
The brave winter bulbs come forth to spreed cheer and their beautiful scent.
And one solitary daffodil that forgot to check his calendar and came up rather early.
And of course, the Mountain resplendant with a coat of snow- We endured a horrible Monday where the temperature didn't go above 5 degrees all day, but Tuesday the sun was out and the sky cleared to show the snow so it was almost worth it. People say Launceston is cold, but I have never had a day in Lonnie that was that consistently cold all day. Enduring a cold night and frosty morning, but then getting a warmer day is much nicer than a whole day without any hope of sunshine. And yes, I know I'm going to have a heap of Hobartians leaving complaints and their usual assertions that "Launceston is a hole!"

Usually I would agree with you, Launceston is warmer in the day time, but Sunday and Monday it didn't get above 7 degrees. I suppose seven is better than five. Frost every morning this week, except for when it was raining.
As long as you have a jumper on - 7 degrees is pretty comfortable. Between 7 and 16 is perfect - above that is getting uncomfortable.
Apparently Rob lives in the right place in the world.
But anyway, you would be interested to know, looking at the BOM website that the maximum temperature on that day was actually 7 degrees. So, seeing we didn't have that ultra frosty morning, and the temperature was the same, and the temperature was measured in the coldest spot in Hobart, Battery Point, Hobart is warmer.
Not to mention we don't live in a hole :)
Mind you, feel free to bag out Kingston (the place south of Hobart, not the family) and south. That's one cold hole.
