FORTY-TWO degrees

FORTY-TWO.

FORTY-TWO.


(That's 108 for you Celsius-challenged folks.)


HOT.



I have sweat dripping down my face. EWW.





(In other news, I bought myself a book of fairytales... in Latin. How cool.)

Sucks to be you guys down south.
It's 30 up here in Brisbane and I just went for an hour walk without a hat *facepalm*

Hey, aren't you guys supposed to be hotter than us? Stop stealing our cold weather! *looks stern*

At 42 degrees, I'm surprised you're dripping instead of just slowly vanishing in a puff of vapour...

Well, I have survived 45 a couple of times...

Bloody hell; I'm glad we only get snow.

But ZOMG I like the sound of your book.

*wants snow*


My book is so awesome! I read the Three Little Pigs last night - and the "Magnus Mallus Lupus" starts doing his "huffabo et puffabo"... *grins*
They've really managed to keep it sounding like a fairytale.

And here it is... 0 degrees. (Or possibly 1, everything's beginning to melt.)

Hee! My husband was complaining about the cold last night (which is affecting the entire northern hemisphere right now) and said, "We could move to Australia." I assured him that was a bad plan. Obviously, I was right!

Well, really it's a question of whether you'd prefer to spend one week a year huddled in front of the fire, not moving, or a week sprawled in front of the air conditioner, not moving...

20 below here. Wanna split the difference so we both get a cool refreshing 10?

We're a balmy -8C so sending cooling breezes your way.

So, you're about 42 degrees hotter than us. The Answer to Life, The Universe and Everything. It would be nice to average it out a bit, wouldn't it? It's bloody cold here.

[personal profile] deird1 2010-01-11 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep. Australia's weather is the point of existence. *nods*

I really need to move to a cooler climate...

If we averaged our current scores out we'd have 22 each.

I'd go for that...

Oh grossssssss.


And, um, you can read Latin? HOW EXACTLY ARE YOU SO COOL, PLEASE EXPLAIN.

HOW EXACTLY ARE YOU SO COOL, PLEASE EXPLAIN.

Long, arduous hours of practice. *preens*

Actually, I can sort of read Latin. Badly. But I'm getting there... The new book is the latest attempt to make sure I stay interested. (I also own Harrius Potter Et Philosophi Lapis.)

Hey, I just watched the episode where Oz says that! *g*

Mmm, neat. Funny dead languages!

Apparently we can expect a top of 40 again today, before the cool change. C'monnn, COOL CHANGE!

Wait, what do you mean there are delays on the train network from snow?!?

Yes, and it's been in the teens (Farenheit) here in Coastal MS, where it usually doesn't even frost, much less BURST PIPES like the one in my backyard. *fume*

(Granted, that temperature is an overnight low. But people don't account for those kind of temperatures here when they run water lines.)

Wanna trade complaints in six months? :D
