[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 112126, member: 1991"] Sharon, you snuck in on me. Temperatures in the 40s later in the week? That's still cold, in my book. And in Australia, in Melbourne - they have temperatures in the 40s at the moment. That's 40C, not 40F. Apparently it was still 35C at midnight last night, people were dropping like flies from heat prostration in the New Year's Eve crowds. It's not that hot here, only up to about 29C. There are big storms to the north which are bringing heavy seas all along the east coast, closing beaches. Imagine - Bondi Beach closed for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day! A lot of disappointed tourists. Our beach is an estuary beach, plus it is unpatrolled. So it never closes, even when Blind Freddy could see it's dangerous to swim. But with heavy seas from the north - we'll probably get some nasty stingers washing in. I hope not. And you're not even up to high 40s yet - but minus 15F! EEEK! We had a freezer like that where I used to work. The boss froze a plastic bucket full of water, and the bucket shattered as it thawed. I honestly don't know how you cope, with temperatures like that.
