Wild Weather

We've been intrigued by the awful pictures of snow-bound Europe and people holidaying in exciting airport terminals. Yet we're having our own wild weather. A few parts of NSW had a frost last night and even Armidale got down to 3 degrees C. It was distinctly chilly pedalling to work on the bike this morning even though things had warmed up nicely by mid-day. Over the last few weeks we've had endless dull and wet days and temperatures well below normal. This culminated 3 days ago with a massive storm that brought wintry temperatures - only +15C during the day - and huge winds up to about 100 kmh. So, we've accompanied the northern hemisphere in its weather travails. Today, however, became lovely after that cold start, with cloudless skies and low humidity, so envy us going into Christmas. Sydney and the south coast should be 25-30C and the water will be about 21C.
