slave to zep Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Ok, now i'm whinging! The previous few days have been hot, but the next 2 days ....... around 46C/115F .... plus. Unfortunately, there will be strong warm winds in parts of the country and a massive potential bush fire problem. Hopefully we can avoid it this year. Same ol same ol Aussie January! those poor bastards in SA and VIC ....... i can't imagine 46 degree heat ..... omg! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whoopie Cat Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 those poor bastards in SA and VIC ....... i can't imagine 46 degree heat ..... omg! I experienced 44.3 degree heat down here a few years ago. It was literally like being inside an oven. Every breath felt like it was burning right down into my lungs and I found myself only taking short, shallow breaths. My face was bright red and my eyes were squinting, trying to avoid the intense heat that was penetrating my into my eyeballs. Every body movement was an effort. I don't know how people live in that sort of heat, let alone work, or heaven forbid, play tennis in the sun (Australian Open) through extreme temps like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ross62 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 43c yesterday and it looks to be the same today. I just had my brother in law here who's a retired builder fitting a second A/C.He's a good man and all the job cost was a dozen longnecks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whoopie Cat Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Well hopefully your brother in law shared those nice long cool ones with you .... under that full blasting air con. My daughter is down in Melbourne, she says it's unbearable and Reggie is out west in Sydney, where they've been copping serious heat too. Stay cool guys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bong-Man Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Peaking at about 5 degrees today with a nasty wind to boot. This isn't going to last though....it's going to get colder. Nothing you can do about it except drink some Canadian whiskey and play some acoustic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bong-Man Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 "Polar Vortex, The Sequel"........-10 this morning, and one more inch of snow will make this the snowiest month of all-time in Michigan history.....and I swear I will never complain about hot weather again.

pottedplant Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 It is going to snow in New Orleans for the first time since 1985. Only the third time in my lifetime. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bayougal65 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 It is going to snow in New Orleans for the first time since 1985. Only the third time in my lifetime. Hi Potted! You forgot 12/8/2008! We had a big, fluffy snow then! It was great, except I got stuck on I -12 for hours! NOLA-area is not the place to be with ice on road! Too many bridges! I got stuck on the Huey P this past Friday evening! Horrible stuff! All work is cancelled! I am staying in! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pottedplant Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I did forget about 2008. The problem here is ice. I'm not going outside either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
