Blardy wind - its enough to make ya sick!

[Crisis management]

It's never windy, rainy or snowy.....(theres a tui here somwhere)

With this much traffic the wind can't get thru anyway!

Nah, couldn't stand that - I'd rather put up with the asthma, hayfever and allergies - at least you can treat those diseases!!

Bring on global warming thats all I can say and at least we might get some hot days instead of snow 1 day before summer

We have lots of hot days here.. temperature gets pumped up by the hot norwester. 21 deg at 8.00am here today... and rising!

It seems as though it was weeks ago that the equinoctial winds hit HB where day and night, they rage, whistling through the windows, tanglilng the washing on the line....

We get a Southerly like that almost every night!
However, It's welcome as it drops the temperature from the high 30's to something more respectable. Tomorrow it'll be around 37, and 22 at night after that southerly comes though. Looks as if Xmas week will be up around 48-50 as it was last year!

Had a bush fore last week that first made the day seem orange, just before it became like dusk from all the smoke, and this was at 1 in the afternoon. The shores of Lake Macquarie were covered in ash. The sort of landscapes you see in "DooM" are common around where I live.
