Damned heatwave!!

Who's looking forward to March?

I am. I quite like June-August too. Spring in Canberra usually brings rain and wind, plus hayfever, so not pleasant.

An American friend sent me a couple of photos of snow at his place! This is after he has used his "tractor" to move some of it.

My friend lives on a few acres out in the country in Minnesota. Has to drive down to the road collect his mail. He also has a camera set up to take pictures (at night) of visiting deer and other fury creatures. He sends me those too. He's a collector of "vehicles" has a huge shed full of various old cars which he keeps registered and takes out every so often. Registration in the US must be very cheap!

They have just had a bone chilling deep freeze in the north eastern states with temperatures of -37 F and factoring in the wind chill it was -70 F. Then today it was low 60s F. Very extreme.

Yesterday and the day before they had warnings sent out to be careful to wear glasses or goggles when you go outside because your eyeballs can freeze.

Frozen eyeballs? Geez.

My friend in Hamilton Canada, gets some pretty sever winters.

I've been tgere in winter and he called it mild, it was not mild
Everything was frozen.
I helped him dig out his drive one day, and the bloody thing was covered in snow an hour later.

My other mate in Turku Finland sees the cold as well
One winter it was a 2 hour journey to the airport, which was closed
It was only 20 Kim from his house.
When it gets seriously cold, they don't go outside because taking a great can freeze your lungs.
