Back in July last year it was a freezing cold day with a bitter southerly blowing. Wind chill factor was high. Pooch and I were crossing some mown park land and were startled to see we'd disturbed a snake. It was a recently shed black. It took off with a great turn of speed heading back to the rocks some ten metres away where I guess it called home. To see an active snake lying in ankle long grass and moving so quickly on such a cold day rewroteQuote:

Still winter here in the West, Not expecting Summer until December some time as we usually have Spring first[biggrin]
Winter?
Was cold here the other day 26.
30 most days.

PS Not looking forward to Summer, think I'm getting to old for over 45 degrees & humidity that makes you sweat in the shower.
Those days you go in the shower to get dry!Quote:

Currently 5.5 deg C ambient out there but feels like 0 to 2 deg C with wind chill from the 36kph wind from the south.
Alternating between hail/sleet/sunshine here on the flats and I can see snow up on the hills. [biggrin]
No sign of new growth yet in the patchy parts of our lawn, so the mower remains in the shed for now. Nice shower overnight.
As Trout noted, last time I checked summer was scheduled to arrive on December 1.
