It's way too cold for this time of year here in PA., it was so cold this morning I had to jump start my dog just so he could chase a rabbit

Say, didn't you "Downunder" folks have bad drought, and fires last summer?

yep, we had a drought for 13 years til it broke this year. lot and lots of rain and flooding in my area. and victoria which is the state i live in gets fires every year, cause its so damn dry and so hot. the 08/09 bushfire season was the worst though, 174 people dead as a result of black saturday. it was bloody close to my town too

Here in Portland Oregon, it is a balmy 0c and we are waiting for are third snowstrom.

And it's not even winter yet......I think I would take your 20c and rain.

Up here it is supposed to be winter, but there is no snow. It's doesn't do it for me to see all the Xmas lights but no snow. Just can't get into the spirit

That sounds like a pretty decent summer by Irish standards.
Right now we've got fairly thick snow, it was something like -15C last night in some areas.

Today it's clear and sunny all the way to the Nicaraguan border -- it's supposed to hit 71 here, with a 3-5 kt westerly breeze. I may grille some brats on the patio this afternoon.

And another one, on how to keep an airfield runway clear of snow.

I am not trying to be mean but I think it is fun, that what U.S.Americans and British people call blizzard we here up north call a pretty decent wheather . I would kill for some snow right now before Christmas, so who do you need to be whacked?
