Yep, it's the first day of the winter months!

[erick]

:cold:



Interestingly, it is forecast to hit 19 deg later today? :sunny::cool2::confuse3:

[jjjnettie]

We're still waiting for our first frost here in town. Can't be long now.

[casstony]

I'm looking forward to it. Saw a few mosquitoes around dusk but none while I was at the scope. Need a good frost to knock off the survivors.

Ironically, the first night of this Melbourne winter looks like it'll be a clear one :screwy: epic lottery winz

[Chillie]

Got down to -2.6 degrees here in Horsham.

[ballaratdragons]

was -6c here last night!

Even had my scope lens ice up with the heater strap on!!!

But was a good night despite a few hours of fog.

Top temp in Mackay today 15.3 at 1pm:cold::cold:

[AdrianF]

LOL, not fair !

[ballaratdragons]

I was amazed at the weather report on the news tonight.

They said that Melbourne reached a Minimum of 10 last night.

We didn't even get to a TOP of 10 today :sadeyes:

So our High was lower than their Low :(
Geez it's cold up here!

[jjjnettie]

4 degrees here in down town Kilcoy.

[stephenb]

Yep, I can confirm for you Ken (in case you didn't know), Melbournians are a bunch of sooks :lol:

Personally, I don't mind it. There's something magical about a cold frosty morning.

[ballaratdragons]

but that's ok, coz I hate the cold too :lol:




Yep, but a warm frosty morning would be even better :P

[Ric]

It's gone a bit weird here at the moment. :screwy:

It steadily dropped down down to 0.9ºc where it sat for an hour or so, then all of a sudden it jumps to 2.3ºc.

I had a look outside and there's no cloud cover, in fact it's a clear still night.

:lol: There's probably a mouse sitting next to the sensor box in the weather station.

[pgc hunter]

Nothing out of the ordinary here, too Melbournecast day in day out to get freezing nights.

[Saturn%5]

First tassy winter for me :) can see snow on the mountians (first snow i have ever seen ) 0c overnight heading for 12c as a top but sunny, Dont even miss the queensland winters (yet).

[supernova1965]

As I type this from Mackay,QLD it is 11.12am and it is cloudy raining and 13.5 degrees so I would rather your Tassy sunshine. I have no idea what the wind chill is but it feels very cold here

[pgc hunter]

wow 12C day in Brisbane, 12C in Mackay at Midday, 14C on Hamilton Island and 13C nights predicted for Darwin next week.....

[supernova1965]

Mackay maximum today 14.1

[jjjnettie]

Kilcoy is 9C atm .
It's overcast and just starting to drizzle.

[stephenb]

I am happy to put up with most Winter conditions: frost, snow, cold temperature even rain and cloud (sorry Sab), but NOT wind!:windy:

[pgc hunter]

grrrrr clouded over right on cue. But knowing my luck, and the fact that the scope is spending yet another night in exile in the spare room, it is sure to clear up within the hour.

Oh yeah, and the BOM has "sunny" forecast for Wednesday, which, by incredible odds, happens to be full moon. Who woulda thunk it???? Even the moon itself is at it's least interesting when it's full, how bloody ironic :lol:

[stephenb]

It's a conspiracy I tells ya!

[pgc hunter]

Someone or something really, really hates our kind :(

[ballaratdragons]

It's the Moon Men. They planned it this way! :P

[pgc hunter]

haha those animals!

Another suspect is that John Batman fellow, did he really have to shove Melbourne where da sun don't shine?

[ballaratdragons]

Sab, look on the good side. He could've made Ballarat the capital :eyepop:
He was originally going to make Williamstown the capital, but geez . . . Ballarat!

[pgc hunter]

Seems like this guy was purposefully hunting down the worst possible climates in Australia to set up his colonies :screwy:

Lovely sunshine atm, (contradicting the BOM's forecast of cloud and showers, but what else is new?) but will it last into tonight? Might still go out inspite of the full moon, find some globs and planetaries I reckon.

Infact last night was pretty good, the cloud didn't hang around too long so yeah pretty much missed out, naturally.
