SA Footy

it's now 9.30pm and the temperature on the wall outside says 0.
I looked at the forecast for tomorrow and it says a minimum of -3 for friday and -2 for saturday.
I love my footy but bring on summer,,, PLEASE.....

that would be about right smithy the latest readings from BOM for the Adelaide Airport at 10pm was 0.3 of a degree in the shade. the city is showing 3.1

This week I was in Canberra and last week Hobart and Launceston. Adelaide has been clear and cold but believe me, the brass monkeys seem to be all living in the ACT and TAS from my recent experiences.

My job is always out of the warm into the cold.

And visa versa....

I eat plenty of raw Garlic.

I have never had any ills..!

It lets me know, who loves me.

Nothing else matters...!

6.30 this morning on the pushbike to work was clearly the coldest morning of the year. It took a 20 minute hot shower and 3 cups of tea to defrost the fingers. Thumbs are still a little achy now. Knees and ankles are also reminding me that I used to play footy as well.

First time I have ridden to work with a beanie under the helmet. Feels warm outside now, must have snuck up to 5 degrees or something.

Just checked the observations for overnight -3.5 for Adelaide airport @ 5am and half an hour later in the city -0.8

Winter is all good!!! You can always put more clothes on there is a limit to how much you can take off.....

I'd rather be cold than hot

agreed!!

We would all rather you cold than hot tas, if taking the strides off is your answer to getting hot.

I've had the (mis)fortune of spending the last 2 nights camping in the hills just out of Stirling. There were sheets of ice on the tents. I had thermies on and don't recall ever being colder. Brrrrr

No wonder i was bloody cold this morning

It got as low as 16 degrees here in townsville yesterday, winter in the tropics really is terrible

I got into work at 6:45 am this morning, was in the blaster chiller(-20somethin fckin degrees) at 6:47am! My toes and fingertips took all day to recover!
Coldest morning i can ever remember.

cold again tonite in the hills, I was outside at 2100 (9 pm) and there was already ice on the car
no breeze at all either

Going by the BOM site, I live 10 kms from a place that recorded -3.8 and 40kms from a place that recorded -5.3.this morning.

I have a forecast of -3 for this morning.

Poor dogs tongue was stuck in the water bowl this morning when I woke up.

I've had a balaklava under my motorbike helmet the last 2 days. I knew it was cold when I could see steam coming from the drains.

You reckon that's whinging?
Heard your lot out here in Summer? Now THAT'S whinging.

Not small fingers, just big cups mate!

It snowed in the backyard last September in the Dandenong Ranges, and it did just a bit on Christmas Day.

thats only because most of us have never seen the sun before.

Nice day over here today though, only 3 inches of rain and it touched nearly13 degrees. Time to get the bermuda's on.
