We should be getting some nice weather, as it's summer.

But we're not... and it's not fair! :eek:

I feel your pain, it's winter here and hardly a single snowflake has fallen :-(

It's official. Our region has had the coldest temperatures on average in December since records began in the 1920s.

Pitiful.

It's summer here, by the way.

Gosh! I know...it sucks.

But today was different! It was sunny and no wind! I went to the beach...good stuff, managed a bit of sunburn but oh well!

by **Phoenix in the Ashes** » Thursday 4 January 2007 6:29:16am

Agreed - today was awesome! :grin:

It was good to just get outside for once.

Now: New Zealand's Tournament in the International Women's Tennis circuit is on this week being held in Auckland, the ASB Classic.

All the kiwis have been knocked out, but oh well.

We've had one of the warmest Decembers ever - I can't believe it is January now and temperatures actually have not dipped below 8 during the daytime (or at least down south!)

I hear Lapland doesn't have any snow either! But then in the South of England we don't get snow until the end of Jan either - that privilege goes to the Northerners or Scots.

Hey, we haven't seen any trace of snow yet up here in the North. It is strange and unnatural, but there's not much we can do about it. I mean, I never get that much snow where I am in Leeds- but my gran lives in the middle of the North York Moors. She's usually waist-deep in snow from the end of November to February- but there hasn't been any snowfall at all since last March.

Yeah it's totally crazy! My theory is that the seasons will eventually do a complete flip and England will have summers in winter and NZ will have winter in summer!

Don´t forget Sweden haven´t had a snowflake at all this winter.. the trees are having buds and small flowers are trying to get the hang of what month it really is..

Sweden hasn't had snow in winter? :eek:

Weather really is crazy...

by **Scarlet Lioness** » Sunday 14 January 2007 2:52:51am

This is really weird...

The last couple of days were really bland days pretty much no sun but really incredibly hot!

by **Phoenix in the Ashes** » Wednesday 17 January 2007 12:19:26pm

Well the weather is finally starting to perk up; it's starting to heat up now!

by **Scarlet Lioness** » Thursday 18 January 2007 10:00:47am

Yeah, and I beginning to look slightly tanner than my usual paleness! :grin:

The New Zealand round of the world cup of motorsport A1GP is coming up very soon in Taupo.

Woot- gale force winds and traces of snow, a month and a half late but finally here! We have fences being blown over, roof tiles being damaged and everything now. Aren't we lucky? :grin:
