Weather where you are?

Just spent the day gardening, everything is lush and green. Sweated my guts out, but she?s been great garden weather here. Rain at night, sunny days.

My hedges are looking good too, if I do say so myself  :D

Might have a quick dip in the pool, twist the top off a beer and put some ribs, and lamb chops in the smoker. Mmmmmm.

Perfect weather here today.

 
Pretty good sporting event up near 'here' I hear. Second total fire ban here. :D
 
Does a total fire ban include lighting up a cigarette? Bloody well should do in my opinion, judging by the number of times I've seen smouldering cigarette buts flicked out of car windows.
 
Get caught doing that in SA during a TFB and you are in deep shit, up to 10 grand fine.
 
Well, just to bring the Southern hemisphere into line with the Northern, we've got snow forecast here...
And judging by the temperature, it's not far away.

We're experiencing a late onset winter due to sea temps being up, why is the Northern winter lingering ?
 
Northern winter lingering based on some huge air mass over the arctic forcing cold to the south. We have see a record for coldest continuous 4 weeks from mid March to now, in 50 years. I think the real reason may be to  give me time finish the Corsa restoration before  spring  Painter almost finished his rework. And had to get the three exhaust pipes rechromed again,  the new chrome was bubbling and flaking off.  Never has so much rework needed before when redoing a bike.  Drives me crazy.

I 'hear' it on the radio, see it on the TV, and so the cycle repeats ............. good for you blokes there, there's probably something else on, like Bewitched ......... which we 'here' seem to be.

 
Well, we did get our forecast snow. Where I am, it didn't settle, just bloody cold. We're told it's just a blip in our warm early winter, the sea water is still warm and temps will rise again.

I can't help feeling at least partly personally responsible. I was due my quarterly beard trim. The look was Old testament prophet, shall we say... But I was reluctant to have it done as nearly every time I do, the weather goes to shit.
Cut it back to reasonable - not of course Hipster look....And it bloody snows.

Now you know how sheep feel.

It always makes me wonder, why they shear sheep when it freezing cold ...... seems arse about to me.
 
The Fireys must be doing a big burnoff, you can smell it, huge haze over Sydney. Suprised me as yesterday was 35c, the hotest April day ever and the week is all above 30c and there doing hazard reduction burns, not too clever.
 
Here in Idaho we awoke to snow this morning. I don't ever recall snow this late in the Spring.  Don't dare to put it down to climate change, though.  Not with the current political powers calling the shots.  :(

Hi Lawrence

up above you in Alberta we got a big lashing of freezing rain last night, woke up this morning to sheets of ice on everything, slippery as hell, now snowing very heavily for the day just to add to the distress. Motorcycle riding season is delayed, golf season is delayed, street cleaning is delayed, all the sports season leagues start ups are delayed. The first charity motorcycle ride planned for the riding season has just been cancelled. Bloody hell. Longest worst winter I can recall in the last 40 + years here in Alberta.

For my garage build planning, I have been trying to have my underground utilities locates done for the planning of my required foundation excavations, locator guy is coming tomorrow, no idea how he is going to find and mark underground utilities in my back yard that is still under a couple of feet of snow and more snow falling by the minute.....
