Exactly mate…never a truer word was spoken.

There is generally a temp drop after very big volcanic eruptions, I dont se why this would be any different.
Will it be large enough to cause long term temp drops, i doubt it, it currently just isnt big enough, thats my w.a.g.
However if it did make a habit of doing that sized eruption every couple of weeks, yeah apart from a temp drop the expat tongan population in NZ and Oz would rise dramatically.

I thought if you put a tax on it it would change it

Stop thinking like a Democrat mate.

As a follow up to Part 1 of the "blizzard"... The govt scraped the road I live on 4 times, after the stuff had melted away. You've gotta love the efficiency!

As for Part 2... I got almost 1/2" of snow, which melted that day.

Looks like we are in for more balmy temperatures for the next few days -17 (-27C)

Brrrr... Yesterday.



-DallanC

47 F here today

Yesterday morning it was -24 (-31C) and this morning it was -13 (-25C).

Dallan, you have right balmy temps.

...and here I am sitting in just a pair of shorts and sweating my backside off. At night, I'm sleeping on top of the bed...not even a sheet over me.

We will get to that stage

It is hot here in Sydney, today it is about 32c in my warehouse with humidity of 80%

Hummm...Looks like I'll be shoveling snow in a couple of days.

Heh. I maybe didnt get the camera over far enough, that does read -13F

But, at least in our dry state, -14F and lower doesn't really matter. If you have clothes good enough for subzero weather, you're usually set for much colder. We usually snowmobile in, so figure a 30mph wind chill on that brisk morning air

We were going Ice fishing. Its been remarkably consistent over the years, being between -14 and -19F where we unload at the trailhead.

Meanwhile in OZ, todays lucky dip in Brisbane, 37 deg C (99f) and around 75% humidity so no, no a dry heat.
