    How's your weather.

    We're sweltering here & very smoky due to the bushfires raging across Stradbroke Island.(Which is only a few miles from us.) We're in no danger.There is a couple of miles of ocean between us & the fires.


    I have seen on the news how North America is the exact opposite.Hope all are safe & warm.

    There is something definately wrong when Cyclone Christine reached Adelaide and beyond, normally they peter out after they reach land.
    Tommyh

    How did you fare in Christine,Kent? That was one hell of a storm.

    It is wierd, Tom, we had a liitle wind and rain north of Aelaide, the south was hit pretty hard, the normal things, uprooted trees, lost tiles off roofs, Etc., just a 50k difference., you look after youself and family as i believe the fire warning is Catastrophic in Qld.
    Tommyh

    Extreme fire danger.Common sense is required.One cig butt & a little breeze could be catastrophoc.

    Are the power lines buried there? It seems you would lose electric all the time!
    ROMOS

    Most of them are now, depends where you live around here.
    We're OK here.
    Tommyh

    We are forecast for 42 C.tomorrow.Birdsville is expecting 50C.
    Poppy3

    Tommyh - wow 42 C. - 50 C - Amazing so hot and all those bushfires - Oh my - just like the Arabian Desert. Here in London - pretty awful but other places have it worse as is said no power. We have had fences falling down - but I haven't been out for about two weeks. Hope you are well Tommyh.

    Snow and cold here in sw Michigan! Supposed to get 13degree below on Monday night! The cold is bad enough! The wind chills make it VERY dangerous!

    Tommyh

    What we wouldn't give for a little wind chill right now.It's about 100 deg F.

    Aww heck, you're having a heat wave clu. We're going down to 9 degree and that's before the wind chill.

    Just heard, wind chill will make the temp feel like 20-25 degrees below zero.
    Poppy3

    clu - not so bad as others are saying - depends how the cold is - I lived in Sweden for a year and the temperatures were sometimes below 20C and under but didn't feel as cold as it would feel here as it is a drier cold - here it is damp and gets through to the bones.

    Northern California: Balmy, sunny, low ~60F today, Early morning low ~25F.  

    Here in Austin, we had a front blow through. It’s gonna be high 20’s F. tonight and mid 50’s F. tomorrow. Blue skies and breezy. I love Texas weather………...

    Michigan and nearby states are gettin' hit with a cold front from the North...just s.e. of us is gonna' be hit even worse...Wish I was in Florida for the winter months! I, for one, DO NOT enjoy the cold...shoveling snow...cleaning off the car daily...wasting gas warming it up...utility bills...etc...

    ROMOS

    And now?
    wonderer

    Come over & check it out...you know what TIME to get here?...You probably didn't get the watch I sent yet,though...By the way...hows the weather in your parts?
    ROMOS

    The weather as we say in Scotland is "ROUGH".

    Extremely cold with snow, snow and more snow. It's winter in January. Just what I expect for New England.

    clu

    Isn't your weather supposed to get REALLY bad?
    Tommyh

    Yes, we have winter storm Hercules on his way. It's been snowing for almost 12 hours now and Hercules hasn't even hit yet. I'm going out tomorrow but I have 4 wheel drive so I'll be fine.
    Poppy3

    Colleen - keep safe again huh - sounds just so scary.

    I'm use to Nor'Easters. I'll be fine. Have a generator in case the power goes out.

    Below zero here everyday for more than two weeks and snow just about everyday! This has been an exceptionally early, exceptionally cold winter so far with more snow than normal too.   Brrrrrrrr......

    Wet and windy at night, by pleasant by day , about 8c the sun is shining at the moment, not bad for January.

    ROMOS

    Lucky you.
    sunnyB

    Changing suddenly, since I wrote this answer, we have a storm ,rain ,wind, and the powers been off for 2 hours, just came back on.But we have been luckier than most people.
    ROMOS

    Powers ok here, weather is F****** atrocious.

    G'day Tom, S.A. is suffering from a difference in temp. --- Adelaide 23c further north pushing 50c - Don't get smoke inhalation and they say there is no global warming-- on the news S.A. had the hottest year on record in Australia for 2013 -- good luck Mate.

    @bulletman...If it gets into the mid nineties here, that's hot for us and I don't like that either. :(
