How's the weather????
Have been reading about the dreadful weather you guys are having in the US. Hope everyone is safe. Keep those SSR's under cover. I noticed that Europe has also been having storms with 200kph winds. Our weather is also very unseasonal at the moment. In Victoria they have been having bushfires since about October. Thredbo, our ski resort, is under threat at the moment as well.

I hear the fires are pretty bad - some California firefighters were dispatched your way last week.
The Central Valley of California has been rather unseasonable too - hard freezes happen about every 10 years - we've had morning lows in the low to mid 20 degrees F for over a week... Looks like about a Billion dollar loss for the citrus industry in my area...
In my area of So Cal, today was the first warm day in over a week. About 69 - 71 degree & I sure hope this holds up the another couple of weeks. Area crop damage is over a $105 million.
The local news said the orange, tangelo and grapefruit crops grown in Yuma County, AZ and across the river in SoCal have experienced a 95% loss due to the hard freeze.
Unbelievable!! Last week we say reports about wild fires burning in Malibu and this week we see reports on SNOW in Malibu! We an't gittin nutin in Detroit but murders!grimmye
First light icing of the season. A very light coating of snow/ice this AM. AKA an insurance companies nightmare.
it maybe a night mare for the insurance companies....but for auto appraisers like myself...it is called job security.....windfall profits.. and pay the bills time.....I am waiting until next week...I will be busy ... too busy to play......I will be busier than a set of "jumper cables" at a Mexican wedding
Yeah, but the collision repair industry's greatest dream!
I remember a shop many years ago had a sign out front "Come on snow!"

You know that this means the prices will be through the roof in the not too distant future.
After the cyclone went through Innisfail last year (about 2 hours from here) it wiped out almost all of their banana plantations and prices per as high as $13.50/kg. Now that things are starting to return to normal, the bananas are plentiful again and this week down to $1.98/kg. And I know it is not the poor producers that get the extra money when prices are high!!!!!!!

Keep us posted.....looking for those temps to get a little higher. Steve and I are still considering flying out. I'll be watching for flight prices over the next few weeks.

Well, we are coping some crappy weather now. The monsoon trough has hit us and we have had rain for more than a week. The SSR has to go out today as Mark has a dental appointment. We have lived here for four and a half years and this is the first "wet season" we have had. We are isolated with the roads cut off north and south. Fun and games. Temps are currently around mid to high 80's so not too hot. Have to keep pumping water out of the swimming pool so that it doesn't overflow. The river is flooding at the moment and is only across the road. Fingers crossed it will stop soon. It is washing the crocodiles out of the rivers and into the flood areas so have to be careful. A lot of places have had their monthly average of rainfall in one day!!! It has to stop soon.
In the mid 50,s and cloudy here today. No top down weather.
Mid 50's? Hell, I've driven top down in the 50's several times. Turn the heat up and put the butt wamers on high and you're just fine. If wind's a problem, put the side windows up.
It was nice and sunny here yesterday, but pretty chilly out. Morning temps lately have been in the upper 20s or low 30s at best. Also, a lot of the secondary roads here still have salt and sand crap all over them (because they use way too much of the stuff around here for starters). I don't want that stuff getting stuck on the SSR when I don't have any chance of washing it off right away. My Silverado will have to take all of that abuse.
