we just get heavy dew lately ... and humid of a morning ... now I thought Kurrajong would get a tad cold.

I do remember last year some morning did get coolish (-5 deg C a fair bit) ... and fog .... damn it's thick.

I thought Camden was bad with fog .... Wilberforce across the turf farms is that thic that foglights hardly pick up the cats eyes on the road in front of you.

At least it has settled the dust at home ... I am just wishing it rained a bit more before winter hits ... allowing the paddock to get that last growth spurt before winter hits and we still have feed for the horses.

Yeah we have bought well while we could before christmas as we dont have enough ground to sow ourselves, should have enough feed for winter if tthe snow isnt too harsh too quick.

How often do you get snow out there ... I know it makes the news sometimes when it does get heavy. How do your horses cope when it snows ... hope they got some damn good rugs on.
