How can we live with winter for months? Because it's beautiful, and vital to the temperate rain forest & north coast marine ecosystems I love so much!
Really beautiful blanket of snow on the trees. What Northern and astern ° "
is this winter pictures? Do you have " midnight sun " for summer?
Thanks Murray for the update.
It's supposed to be 10F Friday. Need to put more heat in the boat and garage. At the boat only down to 20. Relief comes Sunday.
When I looked at the 10 degree report I thought of you up north.
Hey that first pic looks like the tree is exploding. #2 shows the wind has been there.
Today is OK .. we go shopping.

Overnight minimum in Sydney was 28C. Amazing. 38C predicted today.
Fortunately I spent the early evening at a Xmas bbq for a small boating Club, held waterside at the RANSA (Royal Aust Naval Sailing Assn) Clubhouse on Rushcutters Bay. The CYCA (Cruising Yacht Club of Aust)which runs the Sydney-Hobart, is right next door.
Apologies for the warm intrusion.
Wifey B: Northern Australia, such as Sydney, is my kind of climate.

We're at 54 degrees north so not quite a midnight sun in the summer, but it doesn't really get dark at night. At this time of year the sun rises above the eastern mountains after I get to work, and sets behind the western mountains before I finish my letter carrier route.
This morning and yesterday the ocean was steaming because it was so warm compared to the air.
Sydney is not north, in the southern third I`d say.
Gets warmer as you go north, once you pass the Tropic of Capricorn it gets hot. Darwin, in the Northern Territory, is monsoonal, as if in Asia. Which I suppose it is.
Melbourne( Melboring, as it may called in Sydney), can famously have "four seasons in one day". It gets cold, wet, misty.....Set on a muddy waterway called the Yarra river, has a strange "harbour" known as Port Philip Bay, with tortuous channels to the open sea.Wifey B: Well, not Melbourne then. It gets cold.

There,that`s put intercity relations back 100 years.
Lots of rivalry between the 2 cities. Melbourne claims to be a more sophisticated city, probably right, Sydney is more brassy and "in your face". And warmer.
Water freezing at 0 and boiling at 100 seems logical to me...
