Ooh. It's at least +10 here - not bad for the time of year - and raining a lot - which is typically bad for the time of year.

I'm relieved by the warmer weather, although it's only 8°C up int' north. My post-viral catarrh won't go away until we have a long spell of warm weather.

I don’t know what the weather is doing we’re I live but I know what it’s doing here. Snow showers mixed with sunshine!

I think the best word to describe how the weather is over here is devastating.

I think the best word to describe how the weather is over here is devastating. It sounds so awful over there. You're not right in the midst of it though, right? But I imagine it must affect the weather around the rest of the area?

That's right, I'm OK in Melbourne. We've had a couple of quite smokey days with bad air quality but nothing near as bad as Sydney and Canberra. We expect some more bad days during the week as well. It was a more general sentiment for Victoria, for Australia, on the weather.

I think that perhaps we are not really 'getting' it over here in the UK .. the same as we don't 'get it' when there are hurricanes in the US because we just don't experience these things. I have been reading, today, about what is happening in Australia but I think that I am still not truly comprehending it.

Richard posted this map on Facebook yesterday to show how large the fires are. It's a map of Victoria fires rotated 90° clockwise and overlaid on a map of England. The blue circle just above "United Kingdom" represents Melbourne. This does not include fires in New South Wales which are much bigger. There are live maps of Victoria fires here. Richard and his partner will be attending the St John emergency operations centre during the next few weeks.

I don't think I truly appreciated the scale of the Australia fires till I did some reading yesterday.
Here, it's cold and raw. Our heating is shagged.

Not sure of the meaning of your last sentence. Here it's -7 C so still relatively mild. We're even looking at above freezing weather for later in the week!

I have a cat wrapped around my neck . We don't use the heating that much anyway.

Lucky you! We just had a weekend of freezing rain and sleet.

We presently haz snow falling. And, it accumulates.
It just started, so the novelty level is high, as snow is fairly rare (and usually transient, usually disappearing entirely within 24 hours).
It is just below freezing, registering at -1 C on the thermometer on the balcony.
Murray just came in from outdoors and seems unimpressed. I am being summoned for snugglebunnies.

Later that same day: all gone.

Lucky you! Not really. It only shows how much the Earth has been heating up. The other day the weather report showed a graph of the temperature on the day measured over dozens of years. It showed a worrying trend.

Heh...But will it ever come to Montreal?
We must have had snowfall last night, but I didn't realize that until the sun rose and I could see the ever so thin evidences. It'll be gone in an hour....

It's -16 C at the moment, so I have the unutterable joy of having to clean the frost from the inside of my windshield as well as the outside.

Wow....Yesterday was gorgeous. It was sunny, clear and dry. All it took was a sweatshirt or light jacket to buffer the winter's cool.

Changeable....Yesterday it just pissed down all day long. At about 3 C. Drear.
Today, we have sunbreaks and generally dry conditions, but still cool.
I imagine that there is now sufficient snow on the mountain to open the slopes.

We're still generally having either fog or rain.

Wow...The mountain must be nucking futz today. The past week has slammed the mountain range with several feet of new snow. It's Caturday and the sun is out, complete with the occasional puffy white cloud and the temp on the balcony is pushing 15 C and it is not even noon yet. It's like a nice spring day...in January.
Cleo is here muttering and whining. She wants me to leave the balcony door open, so that she can come and go as she pleases. I tried 'ajar', but she pushed it to full open. It did shut her up, though. Briefly.
