Well here in the south of Australia we're cooking; today I measured 46.6C in the shade that's 116F. I've never measured temperatures this high before, makes you wonder about global warming - crazy weather everywhere.

Wow! That is HOT!

Do you have an air conditioner in your home?

There was even snow on "my" golf course this morning. Just enough to see.
It will be warm by the weekend though.
I'm on my way for a root canal. I would almost rather stay home and read the SZ war games.

Another Australian here. Melbourne is into its third day of 43C temp (109F). The poor International tennis players are at the tail end of the Australian Open in that sort of weather. A hell of a way to earn a living. Mind you one or two of them get a million or two for the effort.

Yeah.... I'd happily play outside in those temps for THAT kind of moolah!

Not sure if my arranger would take being baked in the sun though! My contract rider has me and whoever I play with at least in the shade, down here in FL...

But I've had a few outside gigs where the heat index got above 110ºF... but I can STILL take those easier than playing in cold weather

Someone sent me a cartoon a few weeks ago that depicted two guys wading through waist deep snow and their car buried in snow to the windows. The caption said "Repeat after me--At least we don't have hurricanes, at least we don't have hurricanes..." I would rather live with the threat of a hurricane than endure the six months of winter we have up here in the People's Republic of Maryland. Just got home from a job, the driveway is a 300-foot sheet of downhill ice and I had to put on golf shoes to negotiate my 160 feet of sloping sidewalk. Todays high was 30 degrees f. Tonight the mercury will dip to 10 degrees f. and snow showers are in the forecast for tomorrow.

Damned I'm cold,

Gary

We just had our share of winter here in the People's Republic of Maryland. Both my SUV and my wife's can negotiate out the uphill icy driveway. Tonight my son decided to drive down and couldn' get out. After an hour and a half of salt, kitty litter, ect, we were able to drive him out. Add to that I had 5 people at choir tonight. I usually have 15 to 20. I'm also damned tired of the cold.

Well.., that makes it a whole week now. Got a call at 5:15am saying schools were delayed 2 hours...., then get an update call at 5 minutes to 8 that all schools are closed again. Now they're talking about another possible major winter blast coming by Monday. At this rate my kids probably not going to be out of school until July....
