Melbourne Cold Snap - Now defrosted!
« on: June 07, 2011, 05:22:40 PM »
Dunno about you other Melburnians but it bloody cold here at the moment.
Walked outside the workshop here in Oakleigh and thought to myself Fark its cold.
No wonder, i just checked the Local weather and its a Balmy 7c  8) with a minimum of 4 tonight and the forecast isnt much better  ;D
It must be Snowing in the next suburb  :o
Current
Weather for Oakleigh VIC
7°C | °F Tue    
Current: Mostly Cloudy
Wind: W at 35 km/h
Humidity: 76% 11°C | 4°C Min
 
 

I suppose the only positive is you dont have to keep your beer in the fridge to drink it  :cheers: :cheers:
Good Camping weather  O0

Currently -5°C at Mt Baw Baw. Forcast max for the next two days is -1°C.  Looking good for opening weekend this weekend. Cold, even if there is not enough snow for more than a few snowballs.
