Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but a city-or town or country-away its delightful...

And since we no place to go, let it snow, let it rain, let it blow, let it broil, let it snow…

What a messy mix of weather. It is unseasonably warm here and I hate that when it's Christmas. It makes it feel a little less like Christmas for some reason.... but it could always be worse as your post shows!

Australia has a 40c heat wave, what the heck? I thought'd it waz winters?

No... It's summer in Oz. Seasons on the other side of the equator are opp north of the equator.

I thought the "waz" was indicative of sarcasm.

Weather you like it or not.

Pacifists may be somewhere in the middle with their feelings on that.

It was in the mid to high fifties in upper NY yesterday where I am..it felt really nice to walk the dogs in the warm weather yesterday and thankfully the snow melted gradually enough that there was no flooding. I'm hoping for a new sprinkle of snow by Xmas morning though..everything looks so muddy now lol

All of you spending Xmas someplace tropical I envy you, my husband an I had a conversation about having to have snow on the holidays the other day. I would be delighted to be on a 90 degree beach opening presents ...he likes it snowy

40 degree heatwaves in summer are nothing out of the ordinary in large parts of Australia.

Now the late summer we had in March 2013 with two extended periods of ten days or more with temperatures over 30 (SE Australia in Melbourne), that was an anomaly, and a very uncomfortable one at that.

Long Island here.

We're gonna try to bring in a little of the white tomorrow afternoon. It's gonna be tough but I'm optimistic. Give us a hand, maybe it will work...
