Re: Does it ever get cold in Oz?
you gotta be kidding me. the only reason you would think that is because our murderers are inventive but there are few. compared to everywhere else in the country where they kill lots of people with these weird things called guns. adelaide's few murderers think outside of the box

Re: Does it ever get cold in Oz?
With everyone 'discussing' the current insufferable heat in Oz, I would like to know if it ever gets too cold where you are in Oz - even now, in summer?
I know it is summer now, but please put things into perspective.
Maybe ABCDiamond could come up with the lowest summer temps or something for each major city.
Thanks.

nope. Sometimes in June or July you step outside in the morning and think "its a little bit chilly" when it drops to 10c...but it never gets cold here.

Re: Does it ever get cold in Oz?
Exactly...everyone's different.
My OH and other Aussie friends had a huge whinging session at the end of winter complaining about how depressing Melbourne weather was...I just couldn't see where they were coming from! Maybe after a few more Melbourne winters it'll get to me.....but I doubt it!
However if you do have a predisposition to SAD then SE Qld is definitely the place to be as winters are generally spectacular there. But for me personally I don't like the year round early darkness.

Brisbane would get the best winters. Not so sure about the lack of DST.

Melbourne certainly seemed pretty cold last night! Was at Shakespeare in the park at the Botanic Gardens....SW wind howling and everyone was shivering and wrapped up in their blankets and hoodies.

Yup- a front came in bringing well-received rain. 4mm for us - we're happy - keeps our tanks full and the grass green. We've had a great 4months for rain bringing relief after 2 particularly bad years with last year the worst for us.

Item on the news just showed a substantial fall of snow at Halls Creak, several were easily making snowballs, it is not expected to last though.
