The Cold

[raskolnikov]

16 in CQ right now. Glorious. One of the few things I'll miss if I return to Melbourne next year.

 

[Gough]

Cold as Peter Dutton's heart in Adelaide right now.

Ice on the windscreen this morn of course, sat in the car for a few mins to defrost etc before the gym, using the windscreen wiper water to help get the ice off.

Windscreen iced up again when leaving the gym, wiper reservoir ran out of water! So I had to wind the window down and squirt my water bottle onto the windscreen to get it off, that was very annoying.

I found the ice was thick enough I couldn't get that layer of water to loosen the ice for a couple of mins.

So, Hells freezing over.

The day after tomorrow like

So, how was your golf today?

 

[MarcMaverick]

It is cold for sure. Not enough to make snowmen in the suburbs like in the northern US/Canada or European countries close to the North Pole.

No pun intended, but wouldn't it be cool to have that in say Bentleigh, Kew, Doncaster etc..

 

[FreoGirl]

thought I would be a hero and went outside to garden in shorts and a t-shirt, then ended up struggling with asthma

am off to Iceland and Greenland soon, so good lesson in making sure I pack for the extremes!

 

[Hamingja]

Been minus 3 here of a morning. The coldest place in Tassie, Liawenee, hit minus 13 this morning.

 

[brutus76]

It was that cold in Tassie Monday night the last 3 races at the Launceston greyhounds were called off as the track was getting too icy

 

[FreoGirl]

I guess I can't complain about the 2 degrees we had in Perth this morning - woke up with two dogs on top of me!

That's spectacular! Wish I was there.

 

[the_interloper]

Few have dropped off the gym since it got cold, the culprits have been copping it on our WhatsApp group, weak as piss etc

The frost date not settle on ye fairways and play commenced without hindrance. A beautiful crisp winters day with loads of vitamin D absorbed.

Keep a bottle of water on the bench next to your keys, pour that on the windscreen ice before you get in the car. It'll generally loosen it up enough to shift with the wipers pretty much straight away. It's what I used to do when leaving for work at 6:30am when I lived in Mt Gambier. Then heater on full whack with the air conditioner going to warm the car up without fogging the windscreen and you're away in seconds rather than minutes.

Yeah I usually hose the screen down or use the watering can before I get in the car, it does save a bit of time.

This is one of the funniest barometers of weather I've ever seen

I do that and the cars fogs up even more.

Only cold from the aircon will clear up my windows.

First thing when the engine is cold, cold air blows out regardless for a couple of minutes. As the car warms up and warmer air blows out things seem to find a balance pretty quickly as the glass heats up since the heater does the heating and the a/c removes the moisture from the air.

4 degrees this morning, tropical compared to the rest of the week
