    Default Weather contrasts

    There have been a lot of posts lately from you lot up nth with pics of snow, skis, oil cooler covers and cabin breezes.

    Down here in OZ we have slightly contrasting weather! Sparing a thought for you Dave out at Moama!

    That's quite bizarre. I've just replied on Brian's thread and sent a photo of WA weather versus that horrible white stuff he had for moving his machine to its new home. BBRRrrrrrrrr

    45 is a bit toasty. I think it's been colder this year in WA (in the southwest anyway). Usually I'm seeing 38 etc but so far it's rarely reached that high; only 33/34 ish. Perhaps the end of Jan will prove to be my undoing

    The weather in Wisconsin has been a mess, too. Relatively warm lately in the 20s to 30s F, but very little snow here. Some up by the lakes, but not anywhere else. All the snow has been going south of us, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois. Starting a cold snap now in the single digits to teens for highs.


    Oh well...

    Upstate NY has been cold this month. There is snow in the Adirondacks and most lakes are a foot thick. If you go 40 miles south the lakes have just froze over again. I have been getting about 1 good flying day a week so planning is the key to getting out.

    So far it's been a relatively light winter out here east of Portland OR an hour. Just happened to get a bunch of snow last night but it doesn't stick for very long here.

    I'm just about smack middle of a mountain range and the west side surprisingly has been beautiful the last week. Usually the east gets the desert weather.

    The weather in New Zealand has been very unsettled,we have had a series of 29-31c days mixed with 15-17c days and rain which is unusual.We are normally very dry and burnt off on the east coast this time of year.

    Yes Ross, it’s been very “toastie” here in Moama. Have had fans blasting away but I’ve had to cut out working during the warmer parts of the day. I think we’ve had 3 or 4 consecutive days beyond 40C (105F) with one day 44C (113F). Not pretty.
