Down here in Oz we've just had two of the coldest days ever (last time we were this cold was when we were in Canada, late in 2018) courtesy of an 'Antarctic blob' - isn't that a wonderful technical term?

None of your polar vortexes (vortices?) here......we have blobs.

Today is currently - 10.45 a.m. - sunny, but cold. Forecast is for 14 deg C but of course it will feel colder, not surprising because it is still winter.
