Quote:Fires raged, homes lost power, and crowds took refuge at pools and beaches across NSW as Sydney's Observatory Hill registered its hottest October temperature since it opened in 1858.
The weather station recorded an all-time high for the month when the mercury hit 38.2 degrees, beating the previous record of 37.4 degrees, set in 1942, and rivalling peak temperatures recorded yesterday in the Far West.
That is
100.9 (!) of your funny fahrenheits! Did I mention that it is only
SPRING!!!!
Can you spell g-l-o-b-a-l w-a-r-m-i-n-g?
I wonder what the untimely heat is doing to the ice shelves, slightly to the south?
Well, we hit 36 - 38 in the country.
Apparently a lot of crops are ruined - as they were peeping their tender shoots above the ground.
No, but I can spell 'f-u-c-k-i-n-g h-o-t'. Burn some more coal to keep my air-conditioner going full blast ALL summer!!!!
Mr. Stillwater--
Don't even think about peat bogs. That would not be good for your digestion.
Now it's cold... and wet... and miserable.
Mr. Stillwater--
No matter what the weather you can put on a happy face. Let a smile be your umbrella!
And a cliche your winding sheet.
Stumble It!
