Pueo, be sure and tell your girls how ugly it is when it turns to slush, mixed in with soot and road muck!

Snow makes a beautiful painting though:)

pueo, where?

pueo, it is beautiful, though. We complain about the cold, but it's not that bad (most of the time). Now the wind has died down. I went out into the back yard with the pooch, and the skies are clear, the wind's died down and with the full moon and the stars, my back yard looks like fairyland with a zillion tiny sparkling lights.

Right now it is so hot and humid that it requires a considerable amount of energy just to breathe.

Phoenix -- go ahead, don't complain, we don't mind.

I did not realize Florida would be so chilly. We're at 39F this morning, but it is expected to get to 50 or so. Clear and sunny but a few high clouds.

Pueo -- Yay. No Hurricane Today!

Crunchy cold snow.
Windchill - Minus 30 Celsius. As i recall, minus 32 is where celsius and fahrenheit meet.
Alternately overcast and blindingly sunny.

Too cold to walk the dogs. Had to carry Bailey home from the walk last night - his paws were just frozen. Poor pupster.

Stiflingly hot in Sydney yesterday. God only knows what the temperature was - must have been well over 100F and very humid. As Wilso said, just breathing was an effort outside - so I didn't go out! Stayed in my nice a/c comfort most of the day and watched the tennis.

Had to go out late afternoon for drinks for a friend who's relocating - it was too hot either inside or outside that house to think (and outside were those horrible sticky bush flies as well) - people just sprawled everywhere in little sweaty heaps. I have to say those glamour young things don't look quite so good when they get a bit of a "glow" up Twisted Evil

Finally the southerly buster came through about 7pm, and we all went outside and could actually say something.

It was so nice to get back to my little cool nest, though!

There are bushfires around again, though! Crying or Very sad

Margo, that must have been a horrible experience. Didn't your friends turn the a/c on? I don't know how people can live without it.

Hope you have some relief since then:)

Rental house - no aircon Confused

And, at 6.30am, it's feeling much better today - bit of a breeze out there. Time for an early meander around the tennis court! Then back to the a/c as it heats up! Cool

Oh my Margo, those poor people without a/c, so sad.

I'm just curious, but why don't rental houses have a/c? Just about every house and condo is air conditioned in Florida, otherwise nobody could stand it.

a/c is not that common here, and is not often found in rental houses. It's just starting to become popular. We don't have much in the way of heating either, in Sydney, and it can get cold enough.

Must be that Aussie "tough it out" mentality Confused

Margo, I guess you're right.

Florida didn't always have a/c either, but when it became popular, that's when the place started to boom.

Mostly, it was when they built causeways from beachside to the mainland, that really got the place going.
