Local mum Vanessa Carbury has stumbled upon a freak snowstorm in her very own living room just after 7 am today.
Going against all weather forecasts for the region, the winter wonderland came as quite a shock, however there was no hint of disappointment in the inclement weather for her two young daughters.
The youngsters revelled in the powdery white ‘snow’, mainly because they’d been the ones to spend the last ten minutes painstakingly recreating a scene from their favourite movie Frozen with cornflour and custard powder, whilst Vanessa was having a shower.
“We don’t usually get snow here, especially not in the living room at least,” Vanessa said.
“Not the greatest way to start the day, really.”
Whilst silently thanking her past choices to overrule her husband and go with a white and off-white colour palette when restyling the living room last year, Vanessa began to assess the enormity of the post-blizzard cleanup task.
“Yep, this is gonna be a job and a half…but you know what will make it easier? Wine. Lots of wine,” she said.
“As they say, it’s always wine o’clock somewhere, and sometimes you just need to let it go, let it goooo!”
Our reporter then legged it out the door before being asked to help with the disaster recovery.
