Melting Here

[Dmac]

So i'm bored, Cooking here in my room.

Anyone else here from Melbourne dying in the 43 degree (Celcius) heat?

What makes it worse is i had my PC on all night downloading and someone turned my fan off in the morning and my PC lets out more heat then the damn heater. So i basically woke up as a peice of charcoal.

Also a bad bushfire threat.

Its like 11 degrees here. I'm in west BC. I wish I lived there I'd rather be hot then cold -.-

[Dmac]

I do prefer the heat then the cold, Don't get me wrong.

But where there is heat there is the real risk of bush fires (I'm sure everyone knows about black saturday last year) and of course the heat is good... When you have a pool or are down at the beach.

Well it got to -10 C (14 F) a few nights ago and I really doubt it's going to stay warmer than that during the night - the wind makes this worse. This is the coldest winter of my life, the amount of snow we've had so far is getting ridiculous and it's to keep coming. But it's 3 C (37.4 F) right now.

Its been minus 9 here and the snow is just annoying me now. I almost lost my shoe my in the snow and my foot was very cold.

I thought this had something to do with ice, obviously not. The coldest it's been in England so far was -22 degrees at one point, but not where I live thankfully. It's mostly been -2 or -3, no more than that. This snow just isn't melting, BTW, been here quite a few days now.

Actually peaked 45 in my state (Victoria). In the mid 20's or so overnight. Hot nights are the worst.

As for the cold, Where i live it doesn't even get to 0 during winter, In fact our winters are probably hotter then your summers

Is it weird at Xmas, when it's as hot as that? I can't imagine celebrating Christams with the sun out, maybe even having a barbeque. A few of my relatives did in December, they emigrated there a few years back.

[Dmac]

It's not weird for the simple fact we dont know it any other way. Probably the same as me asking is a white christmas weird for you? You've done it your whole life so it's perfectly normal

Yeah Christmas is normally a spit roast or BBQ with the family and a beer or 10.

Lovely stuff, I'm envious.

[Dmac]

Found out it was the hottest night on record last night.

All night it was 30 degrees. Sleeping in that was hell.

[Thomas.]

It's melting here... the snow I mean. Finally, I'm getting annoyed at it. The snow is hard as hell, a foot of utter concrete like snow. I want it to go and then come back, fresh.

Bump! Not even half the winter here, -4 degrees Celsius, so damn cold and it snows all day, it sucks, I'm so tired of winter, I real envy those who live in the Southern Hemisphere enjoying the summer

I just got over two feet a snow and a snow day from school.

As for the cold, Where i live it doesn't even get to 0 during winter, In fact our winters are probably hotter then your summers

Probably not, where I live (Far Northern US, but not Alaska ) it gets down to -15F in the winter sometimes, but normally from 10-25F. In the summer however, it averages 85F and gets up to 95F, but luckily usually not too humid.

P.S., those temps in Celsius would be -26, -12 to -14, and then 29.5 to 35, respectively.

And BTW, that two feet I got was not even lake effect snow, it was all that big heavy sludge coming down from the sky. I heard however that my relatives over to the east a bit got a TON of snow of the great lakes.
