Winter

[DaveM]

I don't think I would make one winter like that

 

[CarlS]

I will take the summer heat any day thanks

Ditto!!!!

It is as rocky says all down to what you are used too ! But I hate the heat it's horrible sticky and energy sapping .
For me working as a saw miller and forester any thing between 5c. And 8c is fine for chainsaw work. And 10c and 15c is fine for the mill, for riding I like it around 18 c to. 21 c. But no more or it's just uncomfortable .
You have to remember that I was brought up with no central heating and your breath frozen on the blankets in the morning was a regular thing as was the in side of the bedroom windows .

Shane, I have lived like that for a spell and I have lived in the tropics. I'd take the tropics any day.

I'll take the cold thanks ! You can dress to keep warm but when your butt naked there nothing left to take off !,!

 

[CarlS]

I can never dress enough to keep warm. I get tired of stripping off and putting on layers. When I sweat, I take a shower .

I don't like extremes either way though Joburg has no humidity whatsoever so temps of 38c are do-able. But spring and autumn are my favourite times - perfect days. We never get rain in Jhb during the winter but this last weekend was strange. It warmed up quite a lot, had a constant cloud cover (explaining the warmth) but on Sunday, the thunder started and then it came down like a summer storm. Very odd indeed.

 

[DaveM]

Well we sure having a very strange winter this year. During the night we had temps of 23 degree Celsius = 73.4 degree Fahrenheit and today our high will be 28 degree Celsius = 82.4 degree Fahrenheit

@DaveM that video made my day

 

[DaveM]

@Sprocket Yeah we can relate to that hey

 

[Sprocket]

We had a few cars do that the other morning
They damaged a water pipe whilst digging trenches to lay cables, so a lot of water on the road
Next morning black ice had formed and cars were sliding off the road into walls, into each other

 

[DaveM]

Middle of winter they say 32 degree Celsius = 89.6 degree Fahrenheit

 

[CarlS]

That is my kind of winter!

 

[hemibee]

This summer weather sure is strange. When I got up the temp was 81F/27C. Now at 11:20AM the temp has dropped to 72F/22C and the cold front is not even going to make it here, this is all the rain in front of the front.

 

[DaveM]

We having a very strange winter as well this year

 

[CarlS]

We are getting the rain from that cold front. The front made it into central Florida. That is unheard of for this time of year.

 

[DaveM]

Well with all these up and down temps and the weather being so confused I now have the flu and feel like

 

[CarlS]

Dave, I am sorry to hear you have the flue. Here's hoping you throw it off quickly.

 

[shanered6]
