Well it looks like we may get our first snowfall of winter in the coming days.

I'm getting a tad tired of lugging in firewood each night.

I'd say 'roll on summer' but then again I'm not sure I want to deal with any future heat-waves either ;-)

We're supposed to reach a high of 99 F(37 C) tomorrow. I would happy to swap with you! :)

I live on the California coast - I can see the Pacific Ocean out my windows facing west. More snow that I could manage is available 4 hours away near lake Tahoe - this winter we had 13-15 foot snowpacks.

Yeah.. this is what I miss the most when I came from West Coast back to Europe. I was closer to North West than Cali with all time summer + Tahoe, but still having Ocean view and then 3-4h driving disticance to high mountains and glaciers is what I don't have where I live now..

But luckily I also don't have volcanoes with a high conduct safety plan in case of eruption and risk of earth quakes that can suck my home in.. so something for something...

It is really wierd reading this and understanding NZ is so far away, yet so close for a message. :)

Here in Florida, it was 99 yesterday, Hot and very humid.

I guess the north has gotten tired of taking all the light away, so is now handing some back.

But I'll enjoy the almost 10p sunsets while I can. Though, sadly, I'll head to California, soon, where I'll doubtlessly get to enjoy 40C+ temperatures
in short bursts when going from air-conditioned place to air-conditioned place.

Regardless, I hope you get to enjoy the cozy, warm-drink aspects of winter over there.

at one point there were a LOT of new zealanders on the internet, relatively speaking.

also lines up quite well with what i remember from IRC.. basically every country on that list that had english speakers.. i knew someone from there.

it's missing russia though. they might have been under-counted, or perhaps that segment of the population was disproportionately into technical stuff where we'd run into them.

yes I sort of feel the same way, I jumped on a CBS news app today at lunchtime and saw stories about smoke from Canada, heatwaves etc. and from over here it's very foreign.

Tonight it's getting down to around 2-3 degrees Celsius and I need to go and lung in about 4 baskets full of firewood soon. :)

Here in Florida, it was 99 yesterday, Hot and very humid.

Hope it cools down for you soon!

we just passed the shortest day over here, I'm getting tired of going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark... so yeah roll on Summer aka December.

We do get that in our Summer but not so much the humidity etc. A lot of the air comes up from the South to our city and it's pretty much a direct line from Antarctica.

It's one of those odd things. Like when past times call, and just shame the present into trying to get some old fad back. Never asking about major events and whatnot.

Yeah, same feeling here in Central Europe. Reading about snow in June/July is ripping my soul apart :>

I escape this experience in January to Canary Islands or something. Last thing I would like is to have it daily in June. :>

I love snow, for a moment or where I spend dedicated time to experience it, somewhere, high mountains. But, I'm so much summer guy that it's fucked up crazy to realize down under, you guys actually have winter now!

We'll remind you about the snow in December, when we all get to expect Santa getting in through the chimney! :>

I can bet you'll enjoy the abstraction of the firewood logs dragged home like we do now in Northern Hemisphere! :>

It's always strange here to listen to Christmas music about Winter but there are a few Australian and New Zealand tunes like 'Christmas at the Beach' that remind us of what's happening closer to home :)

I agree, it's nice to have that variety eh?

This was the first year I hired a service to dig out my front door
before going up there, and it was heavenly being able to walk right in
without digging for a couple of hours at 7100 feet altitude.
