Re: weather??

After a week of near solid fog it finally seems to have lifted - can now see grey clouds in a grey sky.....what a grey day!

Re: weather??

Thought I'd resurrect this, rather than starting a new one about the weather in Australia. We've been getting news of major fires in the Adelaide Hills, and I'm wondering how our down under friends are getting along in what seems to be severe heat.

We have the opposite ... we had a frost quake early this morning ... and there are reports of one in Ottawa, although that might have something to do with all the hot air from the House of Commons fronting with the frigid outdoor temperatures.

Not too bad here in Perth Eric, had one day at 44c, but mostly in mid 30s. A couple of small fires.
Thank god we have good air-conditioning. Best thing since sliced bread.

The Adelaide bushfire control was helped when we had steady rain overnight, and is now80% under control,no loss of life but about 30 homes destroyed.
The weather dep,t now tell us that we could be in for the heaviest rains for some years.

Re: weather??

Strange weather here in South Australia – a few days ago it was in the 40’s and that terrible bushfire was raging, and now we have been warned to expect major flooding in many parts of South Australia. It is very humid at the present time.

The bushfire has been devastating for many people and animals, so much destruction, heartbreaking for all concerned. The brave and caring volunteers who risk their lives fighting fires such as this are truly heroic.

My niece’s property is in one of the towns that were affected by the fire but thankfully she is all right as is her house and also her animals, though it is probably a different story for the wildlife that abounded nearby. She is one of the lucky ones, so many were not as fortunate.

Not that I have much choice, but I'll take -30 any day ... you can always keep warm by cuddling critters and drinking Fireball and hot choc.

Bottom line is tho', whatever the weather, Australia and Canada (alphabetical order) are always in the top ten best places on the planet in which to live. By the way, I hear that it's no longer compulsory to have a criminal record in order to get into Australia.

That's not nice Eric.

I thought you would have known, it's not the Fireball and hot choc that keeps you warm Eric, it's the fleas from the critters

Re: weather??

I saw a picture in the paper the other day of a koala having its feet treated for burns after escaping the bush fires. Its so sad for the animals caught up in the fires (as well as the people, obviously), poor things.

Any extreme weather is hard on the critters ... and some unfortunate humans, the one's that get left behind or pushed aside by life. We like to joke about our harsh winters; but the dangers are real. If one is taking a trip, particularly in the remoter areas of this country ... and there are lots of those ... one should be prepared for the worst. Most folks I know have a survival kit in their vehicles. Best advice is: If you get stuck in the middle of nowhere (Oswaldtwistle, for example), stay in your vehicle, fire up some canned heat, and wait. Oh, and hope.

Many animals don't survive. Stray cats, for example. But lots of folks put out food. If they have a gut full, and they can find a warmish place to hole up, they have a good chance of making it till spring.

Meanwhile, it is most definitely brass monkey weather here ... or, as we say, cold enough to freeze the nuts off of a steel bridge. But it looks as if there is a warming trend coming this weekend, and we may be back to normal ... which is -5 for a daytime high. Talking of a daytime high, it's time to spark up a joint, pour a big glass of Fireball and watch the idiot box.
