Hot hot hot

where are you again Ares?

Ooooh we've had shocking weather, few weeks ago the rain wouldn't stop and quite a few waterfront houses lost a good deal of their back yards to slight flooding. Then the cold came and we were waking up to frozen lawns and you had to defrost your windscreen each morning (I haven't had to do that in years). Even the newspapers have been reporting on the "cold" (not as cold as it gets for you guys though):

Yesterday, an icy blast through Adelaide brought enough rain to supply the city for a month, with a hail storm capping off the exceptionally wintry day.

Yesterday was also the coldest day in Melbourne in nearly two years, with the city not reaching its maximum temperature of 10.8 degrees Celsius until 7:55pm (AEST).

If the temperature in Melbourne fails to hit its forecast maximum today, it will be the first time in 14 years the city has recorded three consecutive days of temperatures below 12 degrees.

Last night Brisbane was coldest at 9:00pm (AEST), when the mercury dropped to below 8 degrees, but experts say it will be even cooler tonight.

Sydney recorded its coldest June morning today since 1949, with temperatures diving to 4.3 degrees just before 6:00am (AEST).

Oh dear poor you, so odd to think you are in winter now, how the time flies, I was remembering when we had snow over here and looking at pictures of your Ruby running in and out of the sea and playing with hoops on the beach...........Now we have it HOT -it's gone up in the 90's some days - which is unusual for this country, today it was a bit cooller though thank goodness, but set to go up into the high 80's for weekend.

Last July we didn't have any 90 degree days, and we've just had four in a row! The lake (Michigan) is officially at around 72 at the State Park but we live on the lake and it's closer to 80 near the shore where we are. This is a very warm summer.

Frozen lawns, AussieGirl? Must be easy to trim anyways - just send the kids out to walk on it. No snow I take it?
