Weather where you are?

Jim I thought you would have more snow than is evident in the pictures. Fricking cold here much of this winter. Lots of -30c plus windchill to -40. But its sunny!!!!
 
Old hat to you blokes but my first ski trip to the USA had us staying at a place near San Fra called Bear Mountain, and then a drive to Pak City, the roads to the resort looked like a Bond film, 26ft of vertical snow wall. We barely get 3ft in a good snow season in Oz. Won't mention breaking out the Icey driveway to avoid the night time ploughs, different world to me
 
I had to go to my dentist appointment in the city yesterday. The weather looked OK so I took the Benelli. By the time I finished with the dentist, it was pissing down rain, so I got soaked going home (didn't take wet weather gear with me). It's the first time I'd ridden in the rain for quite a while and the roads were very slippery. I was being very gentle on the throttle but still had a little sideways moment when the rear wheel broke traction. Bloody city streets were like they'd been greased. Wasn't so bad once out of the city but copped a nasty squall with strong cross-wind when going over the Tasman Bridge. It reminded me why I don't like riding in the rain.
 
Hey Davo, nice pleasant mid 20s down here in paradise.
Walpole doesn't have a local doctor, so a tree/sea change opportunity for ya.
A quack comes from Denmark on Mondays and Wednesdays and are always fully booked.
You need to plan any illnesses a month in advance to get an appointment.

I fix for any ailment is to make a Drs appointment. By the time you get there you are better
 
After a long dry period, all I have left is rough thin standing hay, basically only the stuff the stock didn’t even like when it was fresh… and a million crickets cleaning up any shoots.
Oh well, it’s flooding down south so we’ll get rain soon, we can feel it in the air: 30c and so humid that sweat doesn’t dry. I don’t think I’ll ride today!

Hey, Rob, a few fires down Denmark way - hope Walpole is safe and not at risk. Conditions sound pretty dire with the heat and wind. I looked at a map and didn't realise Walpole is so close to the coast. Had visions of you being way inland, like Nannup and the like.
