No such weather here down-under, actually a mild Christmas, no 40°C days so far and thunderstorms for the next few days.

This time last year bushfires were rampant but now we have. **LINK**

So have to keep an eye on them as lightning strikes caused most of the fires

Have a great new year.

I have an idea to market toilet paper printed with "2020, put it behind you" just to wipe away the memories of a realy crappy year

Yep was out there last Christmas Danny. Just about to send grandaughter's partner a real "cool" photo. He was saying the other day on Skype how muggy the nights were at the Gold Coast and Surfers.

Pic is of a very white very cold (-3° back garden of ours here in UK. Snow angels at dawn?

Used to go to Moscow + St Petersburg (then Leningrad) at Russian Orthodox Xmas (10 days later than West) - -3 was balmy weather and only once had this in Leningrad when the Neva hadn't frozen, used to hate warm winters above -10 as slush everywhere - coldest one year was -39.6 according to street thermometer obviously no wind otherwise impossible to be out - glorious blue sky with tiny crystals dropping from trees + catching the low sun (this was in Leningrad) - overnight on train heating failed - slept in fur coat etc + ice on inside of double glazing - the joys of youth!

I have an English pen-friend living about "half-way " up Norway, and a few years ago she described the effects of an extremely unusual Autumn drought followed by a rapid drop in temperature and severe frosts.

This rapidly accumulated ice on overhead electricity transmission-lines, breaking them; and before the circuit-breakers had chance to act, the resulting arcing to ground set light to the tinder-dry grass and heather.
