Here we go again!! By 9.30pm last night it was one deg. and we woke up to -4.5 deg. C, white everywhere and any standing water frozen solid.
Haven't seen this since I left home in the Otways (Vic.). Most unusual for this area.Tomorrow warmer with a min. of 4 deg the BOM says.
I have had the fire on for two hours and I can still touch the fire box without a hint of being burnt.
Down the hill on the coastal plain Pearce registered a min of 1.0 deg. big difference over only 7 km.

about 8C here at 1:30am, same as Sydney. Perth n Adelaide are down into the 4's

For all you frost bitten Perfs, go to Rottnest Island, overnight min temps there are bottoming out about 10-12C warmer than youse on the mainland

Perth last night = -0.6C
Rottnest Island = 10.5C

That fatefull night here at secret harbour (im 1.4km as the crow flies from the ocean) it measured 1.2degrees at 4:53am. Being so close to the ocean i was quite surprised at this temperature!

Bring it on I say all the better for the CCD chips in use (yes i was imaging at the time too)

Mount Hotham got down to -7.0 at 3:00am. That is cold!! Currently -5.0. I'm glad I'm not there at the moment.

Horsham got down to -1.2 at 6:30am. Still cold but not as cold as Mount Hotham.

Ahhh not cold yet boys.....When it's below -10C, then it starts to get cold.
I remember a few months ago and I went out in -18C with just a T shirt and Trakky daks. I was dusting snow off the car. My fingers were the only thing cold.
I am now "winterized" to -25C. I don't mind +10C days now. After coming from -10C to +10C in one day, +10C feels like a summers day anymore.

A new post grad has just arrived from Moscow. I've been telling her that I hope she can stand the Ozzie winter. She's wondering when it will start.
