Ha, lucky you. I have to wear three coats if I don't want to freeze my butt off. I would rather have it hot than nine degrees Fahrenheit. :)

Meh, it's not too bad. I usually only need a sweatshirt, no coat. Unless I'm wearing my weird sweatshirt / jacket thingy then I wear my coat but only the thin part (i.e. without the inner fleece).

Would be worse for the Aussies in the field today. Although not quite as bad as when they played New Zealand in Perth.
This summer in Adelaide has been fairly temperate with only the few really hot days. Still feburary isn't looking good high 30's coming up.

I really wish I lived in a nice warm place like Australia. In December this year it was like 50 to 70 degrees and it was sooo nice. All these other people were whining about it being so warm in winter but I am not that fond of the cold so it was alright with me. Now it's freaking 7 degrees outside, albeit in the Appalachian mountains in central PA but it's like 20 -30 degrees down where I live in southeast PA. Brrr, I hate the cold. :cry:

-8 here in Wisconsin. I so far, have the worst. Last night I breathed on the window of my car and the fog never went away, but I had to scrape off with my fingers. Hehe, frost pictures.

The weather here is bonkers. Holland isn't exactly a cold country, but even so.
We usually have 3 to 10 snow storms during the winter months. The average temperature is usually -3 to 4 degrees C (roughly 26 to 40 F) in August.
Get this, the average temperature this August was 7 C! That's 46. Hasn't snowed yet, and the first Spring flowers are sprouting.
Farmers are shitting themselves, 'cause the crops will start blooming soon enough, but they're afraid it'll still freeze sometime, killing all the plants. :P

Heat (n' eventual droughts)? I thought that you were experiencing water overflows in some parts of Aussie country (as I've seen today on the night news). And yes, I know that you're feeling both contingencies. :concern:

Anyway, good luck resolving it over there. ;) I know that here we're having a brief cold season (hopefully) up here, which I've never had felt or known from the time that am alive n' around here - near 7ēC at this time of year ain't natural. :P

Well feel sorry for the kiwi cricketers, they're not used to all that heat, I don't follow cricket at all but I'm guessing we (NZ) lost too. I went to Melbourne after New Years and I agree that it is too damn hot, the heat of the day is fairly reasonable but it never cools down.

You kind of sound like your going to stalk me now Schwitzer.

Who else lives in Adelaide?

Yeah Pisces, NZ lost. Australia v England Finals.

fuck winter. I mean honestly.

here in New England we're getting fucking 20 degree weather. I hate it. I would much rather have 90s or 100s than 20s. at least when you go outside you don't have to worry about frostbite. Heat is much much much better.
