This is the coldest winter I can remember
the past few days - 6pm to 10am have been freezing
its been -2c to -4c Now that IS cold...
I would love to have a sump heater on My beetle, so when its started...
the heaters would work fast.... lol
and the engine would want to keep going... on idle.. lol
LEE
PS: I wonder how a single bed electric blanket would go wrapped around the engine.. lol
Don';t think that would work... lol

i believe its called climate change.
All the pollution in the world aint gonna stop the earths axis tilting.
My understanding is that this changes the climate to each extreme every 45000 to 50000 years.
In fact the Australian Aboriginies were living in Australia through the last one.
Theory was they kille all the mega fauna to keep warm(skins).
Well that's the story I made up anyhow.
What ever the theory, polution aint good.
Would you sh*t on your own dining table?!
I had a report of minus 8 at Armidale,
yet we have only had a minimum of 7 degrees this year.(perhaps 6 this morning!!)
20 to 30 years ago the winters were anywhere from zero to 5 at night here.

Hi
I can tell its cold, I drove my Hi lux work ute for 12 hours today around Sydney, it was putting out water vapour from the exhaust all day.

Hi
Something else for the chicken littles to worry about, with all the mining going on and taking tons of minerals for our continent and then moving them to another place in the world, with this put the earth out of balance?

I really believe it's called "winter"!! It's never been any different here in the Hawkesbury for the last 60 odd years that I know of. And summer?? No different there with temps to the mid 40s.

Daughter came off night shift at Tamworth VKG this morning and had a nice white Forester rather than black! She's still happy to have transfered from general duties to radio on these days even though she grew up in freezing Richmond.
Are you going to Valla and when? I'm going up that way on the Friday

Dave that is the best theory I have seen for quite a while,I was sure the kangaroos & koalas used to have a lot more mates with skins.When I was akid we used to have winters like this and still go out rabbiting at night or dawn,the frost was down & the small waterholes were frozen over, i can almost remember when the coins had bumblebees on them.
🤪🤪
Perhaps we are getting softer as we didn't even have heaters or air conditioners in our classrooms back then.
I left home today with a jumper on jeze it was cold, tee shirt shorts and thongs after 9am......would live anywhere else
frosty said
jeze it was cold,
Mate how appropriate is your user name! LOL Mitchell

I think its been one of the warmest winters up here in Queensland.
Pretty much everyday has been a shorts, teeshirt and thongs day👍
Strangly though it was colder in Autum here, rather than winter?

yeah it was cold - 11 here but only -7 last night almost like summer haha
It's bloody cold here in Noosa as well especially leaving work at 11.40 at night in the buggy!!!! Plus there's nutcases (mainly from Victoria!) swimming🤪 Put it all down to global warming!?!
That global warming must have missed the Southern Highlands (NSW)🙄
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
