Summer has arrived - at last. Lots of lobsters walking about in town. Now just waiting for the sea temp to hit the magic 21 degreesC. |

I watched the weather report monday night, and they said it was going to be 42C AND windy, and I went PFFFFFFFF!! How can it be above 42 AND windy?, It only gets above 40 when there is no wind around, I new it wasnt going to happen, down here 32 was the max, forecasters were way off |

You're wrong there - can be very hot and very windy at the same time - just doen't happen too often in NSW . It's the very dry and hot wind blowing out to the coast from the centre of Australia that makes it very uncomfortable - parching. Was 41 C here today (at 10am) , Nobbys managed 40 C , right on the coast , was not a cloud in the sky and very windy here today (that dry hot westerly was murder - straight from the centre). Scone and Maitland and Singleton managed 45 C. Kids were sent home from local schools here at about 11am. The kids next door and my kids spent all day inside (here) in the airconditioning and looked really cooked when they all walked in the door. The Gong must have been protected from the Doctor (hot dry wind) by the range that's nearby. Was it sunny there today before the change came through. People in Sydney copped it too - they sweltered - esp out in the suburbs . We're having a bug plague here right now - butterflies - heaps of them, moths ditto, cicarders are in good song here, golden Xmas beatles are zapping about , and the spiders have really started getting active - orb spiders all over the place in my front and back yards and house spiders are everywhere in my garage - time to break out the Mortein Surface Spray ! Went to uni (this afternoon) to collect some marked assignments and reports and you wouldn't believe the mozzies there (and boy were they hungry !!) - the uni is next door to a large salty wet-land (swamp). My car is airconditioned so driving in warm conditions is not a big deal - mind you - I had the A/C in the car going nearly full-blast. Amazing what a day or two of warm weather will do to supercharge nature. The cool change came through about 6 pm here (about the same time as Doc Who) , well it became very dark then. It's pretty nice outside now ( 1am ) and still sprinkling, the electrical storms are gone now - and the roads are still steaming. When did it arrive there at the Gong ? |

^^^ Totally bypassed us, I saw the lightning out to see about 2 hrs ago, but it missed us, no wind at all now, no predicted southerly change. My thermo is reading 24C at 1am, maybe I'm just used to it, seems colder than that |

Was really blowing , banging away , and bucketing down here from about 7:30pm until about 9:30pm . Lot power a few times for a moment or two in the worst of it. If the sun burns the clouds off tomorrow - there's not a wisper of a breeze right now - it's likely to be really steamy and sticky tomorrow - here anyway . What's the surf temp down at Gong like ? Hit 20 C yet ? Finished your exams yet ? Nearly time to head off to Pelican and see if there are any squid about - tide turned an hour ago and I'm running short of squid (another top bait - and not bad eating either.) |

That's cold for your neck of the woods. In fact it stayed above freezing overnight here. I just love it when Toronto is warmer then Texas

And winter is slowly arriving for us in the States (and some would say Canada as well).

Well, since both Texas and Toronto are in Canada, you can expect us to be cooler than you guys from time to time. (Fes, please don't respond to this unless you really want to, in which case disregard this and don't respond to the parenthesized part) |

^^^ Thanks. You are only the third person in existence whom believes that that is true (about Canada and Texas).

^^^ That might be true, if Canada were their own country. But since they've borrowed or stolen everything from the U.S.A., it's a moot point. |
