We've had our heating on for about 2 weeks here!!!

Even I am wearing a cardigan - when I first moved here in Dec I was taking the pish out of people saying the winter is cold convinced I would be in t-shirts year round!!! Well it's 14 degrees and with the wind chill factor it feels about -10..... Cardis and boots adorn me...

I am even taking coffee with me on the drive to work in the morning to keep me warm:lol:

Ruddy whinging pom I am!!

It was 5.6 degrees last night on Brisbane bayside, and it got to 1 degree in Ipswich apparently.

Feels just as cold tonite. Got my fleece on, but strangely I'm still wearing shorts and sandals!

It's damned cold. Don't like it and getting a bit concerned we're in for a harsh winter. Wood burner works a treat though :D However, I am totally over people, any nationality looking confused when I say I'm cold and then they say 'but you're a pom, you must be used to it' aggggggghhhhhhhhhhh. :rofl:

Phoned up my big sister to tell her that it was 5 degrees here the night before last (felt a **** sight colder than that in the windchill) and she said it had only just scraped into positive figures all day up in the Southern Highlands. Was chatting to the lady in the petrol station about it and she said her hubby who is a bricky was working in Bowral and said they'd have a couple of centimetres of snow. :blink:

No joke - cold nose and toes here!!!! Widespread frost affecting mainland areas from Southern QLD to Tasmania according to the Weather Girl - it is snowing in the alpine regions too!!!

Now where is that hot water bottle???

Oh shut up, the lot of you.

I want snow:sneaky: If it has to be cold - snow will soften the blow.

Did you have enough to make snowmen?????

No. It snowed for about 20 seconds and all the tourists from Sydney started squealing 'Look, snow! It's snowing!' and jumping up and down excitedly, whilst the locals all looked so happy and said 'Yay' in a dull monotone.
Then it melted.

There's more out Lithgow way apparently. If even a couple of cm's falls here, the kids all take the day off school. I can't believe I used to go to school and stand in the massive drifts of white stuff. They're so nesh here. ;)

They close the schools in the UK when it snows too!!! We used to have to go as kids too until there was more than about 6 inches then they would send us home.......

I love the snow - but hate it when it turns to ice 'cos you can guarantee I will be the one on my butt:sneaky:

We even used to go and play in the snow drifts on the mountains when I was a kid and walk across the hedges as the snow was that deep - I must be getting old 'cos I was going to write:

They don't have snow any more like they did when we were kids!!!:rofl::rofl:

LOL, we are so nieve before we get here. It just feels so cold because these houses were built for summer, not winter. Wish they would introduce central heating.
