Default OK the joke's over

It is officially bluddy cold here. We live in a semi tropical area. We are five minutes drive from the Coral Sea. This morning at 7am there was FROST on the high school oval. This is seriously not funny. It didn't get above 16 degrees all day. Everyone is saying it's never been so cold. People who have lived here for 40 years reckon they have never scraped ice off their windscreens before, but did this morning. WTF is going on And don't tell me it's sodding global warming - IT'S BLUDDY FREEZING :curse:

Hey when we landed at Heathrow it was 9 degs and grey, I'm guessing about 25 lower than what we left behind in Cairns, and guess what it was nice and refreshing

Alas, tis the truth.
I'm sat sitting here in jeans and light sweater now.
Tis a paltry 24 deg indoors and 20 deg outside.

And yet down on the Mornington Peninsula, near Melbourne (4 seasons in 1 day) in Victoria (covered in snow), we've not had any frost.

(We did get some hail the other day - and I can't guarantee that other parts of the Peninsula have been frost free. It's also been down to 4C at night and day time temps are about 14C.)
