Weather where you are?

No red sun set here on the North Shore of the Great Lakes - Looks like the end of Indian Summer, at least we got one this year, (Last chance for Woman to ware a Bikini) - Except cold damp weather ahead - Coming late November in to December and SNOW.
 
Warm and sunny in Hobart yesterday. Got to 32C. Would have been a nice day for a ride but I had to finish re-hanging the roller doors on my garage (modified the opening to make it high enough to get my van in). I dunno how you Aussie mainland types cope with working in the heat. I got up early and finished the job before the temperature got too high, but it was still a little unpleasant. Guzzled heaps of water and sweated it all out.

It would, but was back in Brisbane Friday morning. Off to install machines in Hervey Bay Monday Tuesday, then have Ballina, Glen Innes and Launceston to do before Christmas.

Phew, this is our crazy time at work. Have told the boss I?m retiring, he ain?t happy.



 
Bit of a storm here in Tasmania last night, with strong winds and rain. I woke up to see snow on the mountain (Mt Wellington) which is pretty unusual for December. There are reports on the local news of some areas without electricity because of power lines brought down by falling trees. Still a bit cold and blustery today. Not good weather for riding, especially if a tree lands on the road in front of you - not that that's ever likely to happen, eh Chris?
 
Temps between -5C to +8C and no snow yet here on the the North Shore.

The lakes and ponds are perfect for ice skating ;o)
 
First snow of the season in Mallorca today..... you know its bloody cold on the main land if we get this here!. Pity we cant ski it !

A wee bit of snow in the coast mountains of British Columbia now. The 30 knot winds and 7,000 feet were a bit annoying though.

Been helicoptered to top of mountains in BC in the early 70's  and learned to fall of them with ski's in my 20's. That is somewhat of a controlled fall so that you don't kill yourself.

Love the interior of BC - The climate changes with altitude with in a few miles.

That's why a Northern Ontarian went to the West Coast, looking for a BIGGER hill.

I did have the all Ontario Salomon under my belt back then - I encountered fantastic Skiers from all over the World and being paid to do it working for an American Photographic Co ;o)

Nice sunny day in Sydney today, about to fly back home to continue my holiday at the beach.

Work Xmas party last night ..... pass me some painkillers and sunglasses!
 
10 years I've been in Singapore... 3,650 days of 32-35C, high humidity and never once had a cold day. 
It's got to be the most oppressive climate out there. Yes, 12 months of summer every day would be nice once, but 10 years...
Beam me up Scottie.
