Cold Snap

A cold snap in Melbourne means the temperature fell to 7 degrees overnight! The sun still shines, but mostly, a cold day in Melbourne feels like a balmy, early spring day in Calgary.

"Cold Weather" Vocabulary:

RUG UP: Verb. To "rug up" is to dress in cosy layers of clothing that keep one warm on a "freezing cold" day.
These layers may consist of: boots, a down parka or vest, or a short jacket with a fur-trimmed hood; a sweater-coat, full length pea coat or duffle coat, a scarf and a hat...maybe even gloves or arm-warmers.

Jumper: noun. a sweater

Cardie: noun. a cardigan

Beanie: noun. a toque

The produce reflects the season at the St. Kilda Organic Farmer's Market
