    Hi Terry,
    That looks blurry cold, far colder than here. We didn't even have a frost this morning (which was just as well- I was fiddling about under the bonnet swapping a flat battery over), a mild day with 3-9 degrees forecast.

    Cheers,
    Andy Mac

    Makes me cold just looking at it. Nice pic though.

    I had a collie who refused to use a kennel or any other form of protection. I remember going to the back door one morning, the yard was white with frost, there was a green dog sized spot in the middle of the white lawn with a line of paw prints back to the door ... and the dog had a crunchy coat

    For the tropics that is very cold. For us it would be almost tropical.

    Years ago I rode my treadly from Brisvegas to Sydney via Terry's neck of the woods. Around Guyra it started to snow & blow a gale. Despite several layers of thermals & waterproofs, and getting plenty of exercise, I froze. Fingers & toes nearly dropped off!

    I remember a trip along the Bells Line of Road in the MG where my passenger asked me to put up the soft top because it was snowing

    It's cold enough to be miserable here in Adelaide, but I ain't indulging in a pithing contest with you lot about it, our 'cold' is your 'moderate'.

    It wasn't that cold in Armidale today - there wasn't any ice on the water in the bird bath.


    Now this is what I call cold

    Your correct, there wasn't any ice in the bird bath. It only happens when it is still and very frosty. It froze solid last week but no snow then to make pretty pics.
