And we had our first really good frost of the autumn. Everything was sparklingly white as I went to mass this morning. Alas - the church’s heating system was not working. So there we all were, rugged up and blowing steam while we got the Pentecost Sunday readings about the tongues of flame. And behind me in the congregation there was an audible mutter: “tongues of flame. At least they’d warm this place up a bit”.
You guys are so weird. 
(Or maybe we are, I’m prepared to accept that.) It’s been hot and humid all day, over 90 degrees.
On the other end of the scale, it’s 8 p.m. and 27C (80F) and the air conditioning is running.
A week ago it was 3C (38F) and the furnace was running.
A WEEK ago! What happened to “spring”?!?
I once nearly passed out from the heat at a Christmas midnight mass in Australia.
P.S. It’s not Sunday yet.
Well you must have caught up by now you slowcoaches.
Just wondering, but does the snot on your frozen nose melt off clockwise or counter-clockwise?
Get Bart Simpson to phone and ask. Collect call mind you 
Mid to high 80F here, with a light breeze.
Dry, too.
I have to say it now that it’s our turn. Ha ha! It’s warm, not hot, and the late spring growth spurt is on. Everything is green and flowering.
It got up to 90F (mid-30s C) here yesterday, and was very dry (we’re in drought conditions). Today is meant to be the same.
I didn’t know any part of Australia got cold enough for frost.
When I visited my friend in Hoquiam one winter several years ago we were walking to a diner. She was indifferent to the temperature, but I was freezing even though I was wearing a heavy peacoat. She came up to NoWA for a visit last week after having lived in Tennessee for four years and currently residing in Redding, CA. I was wearing a T-shirt in the house, and she kept asking me to turn up the heat!
Yesterday afternoon it was 21ºC. I got out a fan and turned it on.
Some parts even get that white whaddyacallit - snow.
I was rather surprised to look at the weather data for the ski areas in Australia’s highest mountains and discover that the weather was pretty much the same as for Southern Ontario, where I live. So if you want to imagine the climate of Toronto, imagine a city of 4 million people on top of Mount Kosciuszko. 
That sounds like something I’d say. I haven’t been kicked out of church. Yet.
It was almost 90F here today–good ice cream weather! The only frost is in my freezer.
Reminds me of a great-aunt’s funeral I went to a few years ago. As they were carrying the box out to the hearse an aunt muttered, ‘Please don’t drop her.’
I might have to save my Big Trip to North America for the northern summer. I don’t do so well in those temperatures.
You’re welcome to the warm weather. I much prefer the cooler temperatures and look forward to autumn and winter each year. I love the bracing cold of the occasional subzero morning.
You may want to be careful even then. Here in Calgary, we got three inches of snow last Thursday.
Well, I was outside in shirtsleeves all weekend.
In Leeds today, where England beat the West Indies, the temperature was 7.5C. This is the coldest temperature ever for any Test Match held in England.
