40C in Brisvegas yesterday!!!

[dandan]

As a former Sydney dweller 40C+ out in the western suburbs wasn't unheard of. In Brisbane in the eastern suburbs ... 40C? Yep one for the record books!

And in Sydney most often the next day would be overcast and the temp has dropped around 15C. Here in Brisbane the temp has but the humidity is up.

I love this country so much!!! As a kiwi by birth I wouldn't go back... though I love NZ this sun-burnt land is my home and I love Australia!!!!

We whinge about some things but in the end so darned lucky to live here!!!

 

[dandan]

And bushfire smoke... also unusual in Bris. I feel like I'm back in western Sydney!

 

[Balthazar]

So it's hot down there?

We broke the other kind of record here last week: -35C "feels like" -45C. Life threatening shit.

 

[dandan]

Did you mean -35F? Cause very few places in the world get to -35 celcius.

 

[dandan]

And out western queensland it got to 48C!!!

 

[Balthazar]

Did you mean -35F? Cause very few places in the world get to -35 celcius.

No I meant Celcius. -45C with wind chill.

 

[dandan]

That's antartic temps!!!

 

[dandan]

crap!!!!
I wouldn't survive....
Hope you guys are ok there!!!

 

[dandan]

-35 C... the penguins at the southern pole struggle to survive!!!

Check .... perhaps you meant -10 or so? Celcius?

They do have that cold now. We gave them ours too

I know people believes that these countries up here are cold, and the northern part of Sweden maybe have some snow now.
Where I live we have had snow and low temperaturs for one weekend so far. A lot of rain but I can live with that.
I'm waiting for the spring already. It's +5 C here

 

[dandan]

5C in Sweden!!! I wish hello in Swedish!!!

 

[Perc]

-33C here right now, "feels like" -47C with the windchill... been a cold one this year, we were hitting the -30's in November.

-35F is actually pretty close to Celsius at that point, -40F is -40C.

 

[jetset]

Looks like the States is copping it as well....

How did you get your fingers to type in such shivering conditions?

I was inside the house.

Today is not cold at all though, -9C. The cold front moved down to the US.

 

[chayton]

It's been cold here the last couple days too, -33C this morning (plus windchill) but supposed to warm up a bit tomorrow. But for today, I'm staying inside!

Hey you! Christmas is over. Shouldn't you be puttin some cloth on instead?
Of course you will freeze going out dressed like that

 

[me_and_ed]

7 and sunny here

 

[XOXOXOXOXOX]

-22C in Toronto this morning, feels like -39 with the windchill. They say the coldest day in like 20 years.


Still recovering from ice storm. Many houses were left with no electricity/ heat on Christmas.

Crazy winter

OK this is from Chicago yesterday...we were told we had the coldest temp in the country last night....I guess hell did freeze over!

 

[KasinoKing]

I had always thought "BrisVegas" was a nick-name for Bristol in the west country of England until I read this thread!
When I saw 40C I knew it couldn't be there. It is unseasonably warm in the UK and central Europe - but not THAT warm!

I feel sorry for you guys in Canada and the USA - when it's that cold I guess all you can do is stay indoors and watch "The Day After Tomorrow" over and over again...

who ever did this icecarving he is damn good one of the best i ever seen it really looks like a jeep

 

[slotplayer]

the one smart thing I did in 2011 was get my suv equipped with a remote starter. That's coming in handy this winter.

 

[cpdnd31]

Yep for winters in Chicago a remote starter is the best investment you can every make. The other night every hour I was starting the car from my window midnight till 6 am just to make sure it would be good to go for hubby to leave for work.

This weather has been the worst I've ever seen. First we got hit with 2 floods this summer, that just does not happen here. Now we got hit with a blizzard, arctic temps and now they are saying more snow.

the only thing you can do in this weather is:

1. make more babies--:xxx hint hint
2. stock up on food and supplies and pray furnace or power does not go out
3. remember how much you miss playing micro gaming

at one point our temp was -17 at 5 am with win chill that's makes it feel like -43 so it was just a eerie day. Not hearing the planes, trains or any cars or people.

Remind me again not to watch those end of the world movies to often....

Worst time with this time of year aint the cold, but that it is dark outside when you go work and when you come home. So fucking depressing. The day i win the Mega Fortune jacpot the first thing I'll do is buy an someplace warm and sunny to live on half the year when it's cold here

 

[cpdnd31]

Well I pulled pick from facebook. my friend who lives on Lake shore Drive(next to lake posted them). However I can say this. the news has pretty much been showing pics like this for the last 2 days.

 

[cpdnd31]

My eyes almost popped out when I saw that jeep and the other photos. Like the OP I'm also in Australia. It's not uncommon to hit 47C (116.6F) where we are during the day and doesn't drop much below 30C overnight. After a week of that, all I can say is, thankfully we have air-con. Those temps are high but more often it sits around 40 - 43C (104 - 109F). Still damn hot though, especially if a hot Northerly wind is blowing.

Thanks for adding the photos
