May have only gotten to 7 in Brissy last night, but the wind chill outside last night would have taken another 5 deg off that I recon!
In true queenslandert style I was still in tee shirt and shorts though 🙂
(well OK it was two shirts last night)

Far out Andy thats bloody cold, i suppose it helps having thick pommie
blood :thumb.

dodge ·

yeah, its pretty darn cold here in Toowoomba too (not sure on the temps), but Toowoomba's known for its icy winds 🙁
I'm going to Stanthorpe in two weeks time. It better not be that cold still with no snow. I want to see snow!!!!!!
:bounce

penguin ·

probably no snow, but still cold.
Frack!! I had to actually turn on the elctric blanket last night.. and I was under a down doona!!! It was about 6 or 7 degrees out here (we are always about 1 or 2 degrees colder than the city!

Andy ·

I thought Bribie would have been pretty windy last night also! Hope you not on the exposed side.
No pommie blood for me, just a crazy QLD'er not willing to admit it gets cold.
Dodge, hope you kombi has the heaters working, Toowoomba and Stanthorpe are as bad as each other I think 😀

dodge ·

hehe, Toowoomba's not QUITE as bad as Stanthorpe.
and yes, my heaters work (in fact, I can't turn them off!!!!)

Andy ·

Don't see that being a problem for a while :blush
I almost got to work before Andy started to warm up yesturday, brought the fasty today, was nice and toasty, less cabin space to heat up!

It was so windy here yesterday afternoon I had to put 2 chains on the dog to stop him getting blown away! Nice this mornig but, crisp and clear- almost needed a jumper.

cold... pffft.

i rode home last night around 12:30, on my bike, in the wind in 30 minutes.

as soon as i stopped pedalling... i was snap-frozen to lock in freshness :P

my parents drove home from sydney yesterday, they say it was snowing in armidale?

phantom ·

Hands up all of those people that drove a buggy (no roof, doors, etc) this morning in Canberra, when the temperature was 1 degree, and the gale that was blowing made a huge wind chill factor?

Pick me!

Absolutely arctic it was, in the end I couldn't feel my face...even now I think it is still thawing.....

So, my bedroom last nite...a nice 30 degrees........singlet, shorts & no blankets...woohoooooo :bounce

wonder if the kids would miss me if i hibernated to my bedroom until is warms up again...like October!!

Starbug ·

What i really hate is when u have a beautifully warm shower, and you come out and ur freezing ur balls off in the cold. It so spoils the warmth in that shower.

🙁

I agree, come back summer !!!

Wag67 ·

well we had sleet and a very small bit of snow up on o'Reillys on thursday. it was damn cold

Wag67 ·

probably because when this area was first settled it was a barren area and not many trees on a small hill

Mad Manx ·

grrrr i start night shift next week (11pm- 7am) on a train with no doors and no heater :repuke

field ·

I know how you feel mad manx i'm on morning shift next week 3am to 2pm
but i'm a bit luckier as the boiler should be running about 175 deg and is a great area of the plant to be working

tassupervee ·

Queensland blouses!
Bah! 2 electric blankets AND a bloody doona!
Reverse cycle Air-con running at 30Deg C.

What a buch of pussies!
I live in Southern Tassie.
My EFI computer has died in my ute. So I ride my trailbike to work everyday.
The other morning, 05.15, the fog was freezing on my visor. Great fun.....

Good lord, 2 leccie blankets and a doona.......what a crock...LMFAO

ROFLMAO!

Starbug ·

riding in the cold is great fun isnt it tassupervee... though windproof doesnt mean squat!!!

i absolutely hate winter, i cant stand my feet being cold and i cant get enough layers on to keep warm... but...
i refuse to buy a heater, an electric blanket or warm my room and bed up with anything other than warm body/s and a hot water bottle. i live in a huge old queenslander with paper-thin walls and pine floorboards with cracks in them, set about 3 meters off the ground. it is absolutely freezing in here...

one good thing about it being so damn cold is that the neighbours have had to close their windows, which means i cant hear the snoring lady anymore!!! hurray! i can sleep peacefully for a few weeks out of the year!
