Thread Name: What's the weather like where you are?
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are?
here on the eastern side of the land of Oz we're going thru a cold snap! Thermometers show low temperatures, but the "feels like" factor means it's colder!
I live in a wind tunnel street where winds rush up the hill, past the 2 skyscrapers at the start of my street & howl along. Our front door does not always close! Sometimes pulling it shut is a fierce battle between me & the wind, but I make sure I win.
2 days ago I went out around 4pm into the wind, wearing my thick down jacket normally only worm when I head south to festivals in winter, underneath I was wearing 2 (Sydney) thermal wool skivvies & my thick Scottish-made jumper, the temperature was 12.7C feels like 4.7 (54F feels like 40F)
Those who live in snowy climates might think that's summer, but here in the Harbour City it's cold! I live a 10 min stroll from the Harbour, but can't see it.
