Cold enough to freeze the walls off a grass humpy, you can blame Jack Hogg on the PA at Mt Ginn for that saying, snowed here at the River this arvo , hasn't done that for years, must be global warming.

Have you noticed how it isn't called global warming anymore?  It's called CLIMATE CHANGE now.  ::)

And yes, it is snowing west of Sydney at the moment...  :o

Sorry Mate I was just taking the Piss .
Yep I remember some of it like the 74 floods.
I remember the hottest and the coldest days in recorded history.
I remember the reef being destroyed in the 74 floods , what a sad day that was . :'(
I even remember the drama surrounding the "OZONE HOLE ".
Thank heaven that,s closed up because it was going to burn us to death. :o :o
I  remember the quality and price of the drugs .
And back then all the shelas were young and fun.  ;D

Ballard still han't pulled this 74.5 400 off the trailer since getting home from CD8.
Now it's frozen to the rails.
(She never ran at Conondale.   Did one spluttering, chaff-cutting lap on the scramble track,
then parked it for weekend.)
Then Chippie allowed me a ride on his 74.5 Maico 250 ... which buzzed like an Elsinore!

Thanks Chippie!

i am here in california it 33 c swam in the hotel pool today.last week i was in 8 feet of snow 41deg f and 30 mile ph winds thats cold.week befor i was in new york 100deg f .the weather here in the usa is all over the place.going to vegas tomorrow its over 100deg f there

Here is one for your fantastic trip your having..Im totally jealous  :P

It's  late fall and the Indians on a remote reservation in  North Dakota asked their new chief if the coming  winter was going to be cold  or  mild.
  Since  he was a chief in a modern society, he had never been  taught the old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he  couldn't tell what the winter was going to be  like.
 Nevertheless,  to be on the safe side, he told his tribe that the  winter was indeed going to be cold and that the  members of the village should collect firewood to be  prepared.
  But,  being a practical leader, after several days, he got  an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the  National Weather Service and asked, 'Is the coming  winter going to be  cold?'
 'It  looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,' the  meteorologist at the weather service  responded.
  So  the chief went back to his people and told them to  collect even more firewood in order to be  prepared.
  A  week later, he called the National Weather Service  again. 'Does it still look like it is going to be a  very cold winter?'   
  'Yes,'  the man at National Weather Service again replied,  'it's going to be a very cold winter.' 
  The  chief again went back to his people and ordered them  to collect every scrap of firewood they could  find.
  Two  weeks later, the chief called the National Weather  Service again. 'Are you absolutely sure that the  winter is going to be very  cold?'
  'Absolutely,'  the man replied.  'It's looking more and more  like it is going to be one of the coldest winters  we've ever seen.'
 'How  can you be so sure?' the chief asked. 
 The  weatherman replied, 'The  Indians are collecting a shitload of  firewood'

yes farther north would be the answer, where you throw on a pair of thongs to warm up your feet, cant believe that i used to ride every where on my bike in Vic and never worried about the weather wet cold hot snow didn't matter. now i visit friends down south and can,t stand to go outside for the cold. i must be soft cause i feel cold in Qld and complain about it and by 8 or 9 in the morning its 20 deg. I think i need a trip to NZ that will get my perception of cold back on track......... :-\
When in DOUBT GAS IT!!!
