IS ANYONE COLD?

I grew up in Ballarat, that's a heatwave.

I only get out of bed to get cups of tea or soup and go to the bathroom. We ordered in pizza for lunch, because it's too cold on the kitchen floor to stand there and cook.   I am contemplating going to a hotel, to access some warmth.  Can someone speed up global warming...

The global warming comment is spot on JJ. I have stated similar on numerous occasions in the Global Warming thread. Always gets a reaction from the usual suspects.....the alarmists  

Well you'll get another rise out of me 11.  If only to suggest yet again that some apparently don't know the difference between climate and weather.

 it exists...but you have to understand that global warming also causes extremes of weather in the polar opposite...

, worked last night in Launceston in til 1 am. we have been getting the wild weather here too. i can tell you the wind chill factor made it awful. we  had to put 6 loops in at an intersection. I was glad when the final one was finished. drove home arriving around 1.45 am to find a huge white gum across the road around 500m from home. got out and walked and rang the council who cleaned it up. then had to go and get the vehicle and trailer with thousands of bucks of gear on the back . i think tonight will be better plus I have my wife  back beside me tonight to keep me warm. 

Ive got puppy classes tonight and I don't want to go out.  But last class warmed me up and exhausted me so maybe a good thing.

 At least I'm not in Melbourne, with all that storm damage and electricity outings...

 we have plotted our meals for the next few (freezing) days...

 this is where torches and books come back into popularity...

 However cold it was, yesterday, this morning beats it, hands down. 

I do not know why all of you are complaining about the cold weather, it is winter. If you live in the tropics 4 degrees in winter is freezing but 32 degrees in summer is fine, however if you live in Tasmania 4 degrees is par for the course in winter, but 32 degrees in summer would be a heatwave. 

 I gave up the fight. I'm in a hotel for at least a week...possibly two. It's lovely and warm. I have a spa bath and I can get a hot breakfast, without having to freeze in my kitchen.
