The Dog Days Of Summer.

Man - I wish it was summer here. Winter in two days (such as it is).

is there really winter in Australia or does it just get a little colder

Wow, awesome avater Pako. :thumbsup: Heh, I only have photoshop (no animated programs other than Flash, which can't be used at GTPlanet ), so I get to make still avaters.

Well, compared to some of the place people here are from it just gets a little colder - but I'm a confirmed wet weather wimp.

Sydney really only gets cool for about 2-3 months. The coolest I've ever seen it here overnight is 5-6 degrees C. Pretty rare for days to get below 15-16 deg C.

If you've got a decent wetsuit you can surf all the way through - actually, the surf's usually pretty good through winter here, and the beaches are less crowded. I run a 2mm full length steamer, and that's heaps.

Feh. That's not winter. oke:

M5Power: thanks!

REALLY hot in Miami today. And not only was it hot, it was also humid and rainy, all in one day.

Oh, no need to stir me on it - I fully acknowledge it's not a proper winter. Heck, that's why I live here!

 

[Dudebusta]

yeah cold tends to give me the shiznits too. id have an allround temp of 20 - 22 degrees in my ideal world.

 

[vat_man]

Mmm - 24c during the day, 21c-22c in the evening (so you can have barbies), and 16c when I sleep.

If I can 'set-and-forget' the temp in my car, why not in my life?!?

 

[Dudebusta]

damn straight.

but theres one problem with warm temps...bloody mozzies end up ****ing up the barbies.

It's finally getting warm up here. For some reason this year the weather refused to get warm (on a steady basis) until just a couple of weeks ago.

Have you any idea how sanity-threatening a flurry forecast is in mid-May? :weird:

Hey rising 2 weeks ago we had snow, and freezing rain.
Makes you want to move to Austrailia for some of that 50*F "winter" eh. I was working at Mosport Raceway and they thought they would have to cancel the race day. All the TransAm cars were covered in frost(no defrosters ) . The day turned out O.K. Good racing too!!

Well, yeah. A Canadian I can take seriously on the subject of winter. Particularly if they live in mid-western Canada...they have similar weather to North Dakota and Montana, only colder! :ice:

I know, I should quit b*tchin' and move to a warmer clime...I wonder what moving costs to Australia would look like... :bigeye:

[risingson77]
