must be at quite some elevation, as the average temp is probably somewhere around 18deg in winter up there... going by the commonly accepted -2deg per 1000ft of elevation, that puts you around 5,000ft at minimum higher than sea level... is the hill that retarded?

Hill is up to 750m at it's highest above sea level.. I think where I am right now is actually about 650m ASL..

And it gets cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey..

I think you need to go further north in Qld for that balmy 18 degrees.. That'd be like Bundaberg area..

West of Pandaville gets very farkin cold, and the wind-chill at Toowoomba is worse than Thredbo at times IMHO.

Ironically also gets ridiculously farkin hot in summer too.

PS: 9 in Bris again this morning.

must be another reason it's cold then. Either way, I lived in Ballarat where it is bloody freezing for 8 months out of the year... Melbourne is MUCH better in that regard.

Um anyone heard of a cold front, more commonly known as a cold snap.

No, sounds frightening though.

What's scary are the nut wrenches in the ocean.

Every bananabender I know is moaning about it being below 35deg's atm they all think the world is freezing over.....

not meeeeeeeeeeeeee 18 - 27 today

Everywhere west of the great divide is like that, any time the winds come from the west. The spots closest to the top of the great divide cop it the worst ie stanthorpe, toowoomba down south and ravenshoe, ravensthorpe up north. Cold days and colder nights and farken windy

howdy ppl........
