Subarctic? Melbourne??
You should try growing up near 60 degrees north, where I come from! Here there's hardly a frost to speak of and I've had several excellent transpararent clear nights this past New Moon. That's several more than in grey weather back home, where typical cold grey daytime winter maxes are <4C and can last several weeks under stalled weather systems (Australian weather systems almost never stall for more than a few days). Good nights would always be frosty ones (see below). And when it clears up here, there's the centre of the Galaxy overhead!!
Pour yourself a wee malt to warm yourself this cold rainy midwinter's day, don't forget we're just 38 degrees from the equator and have lots of warm clear skies to look forward to in the coming spring and summer. Clear skies
