Bloody cold.

[lemmiwinks]

I just went outside and damn its cold. It must be about 19 or 20, I think I will have to go and break out a blanket if I can find one that is..
How are all you folks going down south??

[nev]

i was swimming this morning 34 deg ........heated pool;) steped out side and it was 20 not bad for down south:D

[robvic]

3 degrees here at the moment. Quite mild for a clear night this time of year.

[Rock Steady]

If its getting to cold for you up there Lemminwinks we could have a warm clothing drive for you.:P I have a couple of Russian type Bennie's that would help keep your head warm on those freezing cold mornings:P. if you want them let me know, I will just go clean the ice off the car so I can take them to the post office if required.:D:P:D

Other members may have spare warm stuff we could send your way?:P

Heres an image of creative water use from a place I hunted this time last year. I should be up there over the long weekend.

Im with you Nev, i love the extremes. I would get bored living in the tropics.

[robvic]

Hey Luke, cool shots....litteraly!! I always wanted to live somewhere where it snowed from timw to time, but not too much. SOmewhere like jindabyne.
Leminiwinks, you got any snow or frost photos from up your way???

[Luke]

Likewise yours mate, that one of the fence is a ripper!

Shangers had the most snow this year of the past 50 or so... not so inviting for a warm climate qlder like me :P

[special]

Minus 8 is starting to get cold!

[lurch]

yeah we've had a few minus 6's and 8's so far but we're in for a cold one this year i think. we had snow 2 weeks ago like 2-3 inches at my place and for a snowy night it was suprisingly cold. id love to be up there lemmiwinks id be in shorts and t shirt

[howie]

lemmi, I will get my wife to knit you a little woolen pennie warmer, from all accounts it wont take long to make one, LOL.

[Clemo]

From what you told me Howie, she could use the same pattern as yours. XXXUS:o

[Evil Taco]

geez i was complaining about my cold mornings when i had to put on a jacket... seems weve avoided most of the cold down here average lately about 16 degrees i think... a nice 19 tomorrow though pefect weather for a little scube diving followed by spear fishing... gotta make the most of the warmth while its still here... :) now what am i gonna do on sunday...?

[high_country]

I like the cold, you can always put more clothes on,
used to do a fair bit of sailing down on Port Phillip bay in winter, would be about 3deg heading out some mornings, that was all well and good until you tipped over.

[Will S]

I get up predawn most weekends to go hunting and it is literally painfully cold!! negative 5 degrees or so, but the rabbits and co don't mind!

[howie]

Clemo, harsh but true.........
