What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

[Fiddler]

Wow, for some reason I thought it was always warm there Steve. I see that you even get snow in areas in your Winter. Strange I've only ever seen Australia portrayed as a hot/tropical sort of place.

Really brings a new meaning to the convicts not being able to have fire back in the "penal colony" days.

 

[Steve Mack]

They just show Queensland and WA in most tourist stuff, there's plenty of cold spots. Lots of snow down south and a bit in the mountains in NSW. You can just about freeze in red dirt in the winter at night. Sydney doesn't get too cold these days, I'm out of town at the moment.

 

[Fiddler]

So I see...Learn something new every day....

Window AC units are cheap, and they don't cost much to run. For me, it is the difference between sleeping, and being tortured.

Weather here is crappy.
We had a real dry spring which didn't do the 50000 trees weplanted any good.
Then when my cherries ( I have some 30 trees) were just about ripe, it started raining for a week, so they all split and turned to mush.

Now it is really warm, so the mush is fermenting, making the whole place smell like the inside of a winery.

I love Danish weather.

Maybe you should invade England Stig. The weather here is 111 with 7% humidity here.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

This about sums it up.....

 

[SoonerFan]

We are going to get wet in just a few minutes...

 

[FireFighterZero]

Get inside!

 

[treebilly]

Hot and humid again. Nasty out

 

[Raj]

Heat alert up my way. Shop day today. Yup.

 

[MasterBlaster]

100% humidity here and not a drop of rain.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Do you get used to that Butch, eventually, or does it suck all the time?

 

[Mick!]

90 degrees, blazing sun. No rain for months.

 

[MasterBlaster]

There is no getting used to it, or at least at my age. That was one of the main reasons I had to quit working outside.

 

[Fiddler]

high 90's for temps and upper 70's humidity. I've been camping in my trailer in the yard evenings 'cause it has AC.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Jeez, go buy a window unit. They don't cost that much.

I only heat/cool the front half of my house.

 

[Raj]

Years ago I picked up an old scrap Bard Condenser, threw a coil in the furnace and charged it with reclaimed refrigerant and iso butane. Runs cool and cheap.

 

[Fiddler]

Ha, I'm as comfortable in the trailer as I am in the house. I'm basically ACing just one room already. Water, Power, fridge, Air, bathroom, WiFi, phone, table, bed, and it's twenty steps to the house...Can't see dicking with putting in and taking out a window unit every season change, or spending any money for one. It's not something I use more than 10-15 evenings a year.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Why would you remove it? My window units stay put...

 

[FireFighterZero]

Mine is built into the wall. I put a box over it for winter.

 

[Steve Mack]

Cold.

It's been a pretty good winter, days are sunny but pretty cool. Cold snap this week and a bit windy.

Tried to snow a few nights ago but it's too dry. No rain for months now and looks like it'll be the driest year on record if we don't get some soon.

 

[Burnham]

Hotter than effin' hell...at least for these parts. Of course, the people in Phoenix, AZ would laugh at that statement .

 

[Mellow]

We still have another month or so of summer to look forward to.

 

[Burnham]

Yessir, we do.

In 39 years of living on this property on the westside slopes of the Cascade range, we have never seen our little creek get so low. It still flows, barely, some places. Other stretches, it's dry, going subsurface between the deeper pools.
