There will be a tour (much smaller, called the 11-villages-tour) in my province on Sunday. And we'll go out and look and cheer the skaters on. The 11-city tour is sadly called off, due to the frost not continuing. The temperature was way too high before it finally started freezing (we got a 20 to 30 degrees Celcius temperature drop within the week), so the water took longer to freeze over. Sad... This was the closest we've been to a tour in a lot of years! |

It's -2C right now (Burlington). We're expecting between 2-4cm of snow overnight and another 1-3cm for tomorrow. I'll believe that when I see it

We had showers on and off today, fortunately not of long duration, as we were out with our Field Naturalists' group looking for birds, bandicoots and whatever else came our way. We had a Wedge-tailed Eagle fly right over our heads only about 10 feet off the ground - fantastic sight.

Bitterly cold this weekend (in the 20's F with 20 - 30 mph gusty winds). Possible flurry or sleet tonight.

Yesterday temps got up to almost 70 F! Today we're waiting for snow!
This has been a wild roller-coaster of a winter so far! |

Cool and cloudy today, but I suspect the hot weather will be back for a last burst before autumn - my favourite season.

We had a smaller eagle actually take a pigeon right in our garden one day (and this in an inner suburb of Adelaide). Just swooped down and plucked him off a railing. I am not sure of the type as he moved so fast and left us so surprised! As for the weather - hot and fairly humid all week but no actual rain. |

I sure would like to know where Old Man Winter's getting his drugs this year. They're certainly better than anything I ever took in the 60s. |

We are going for the mid 20s today (about 70 for those on Fahrenheit) so I have three loads of washing out there on the line. Then it's going to start warming up, so probably that means more hot weather for you too, CazMar, as we seem to get our weather from South Australia. |
