The locals were saying they have had some snow around Ballarat in the last few weeks but none as yet in the City itself.

I know what it's like. Only time I saw snow was at Beaufort on the way to a footy game. Stayed at Ballarat for the 97 GF and it was bloody freezing, at least we had a cabin, a lot of poor bastards stayed in tents at the airport there.

I watched the Hawks development team play at Ballarat a few years ago and it was the coldest day I've experienced. Hopefully it's not windy otherwise it will feel like 1 degree.

pretty close to the game of the year imo

The sydney crows game last year was one of the best games of footy ive seen, so if it gets close to that it will be great

Benny & Wubsy... on the hill sinking a few coldies and enjoying the banter!
