    Wild?! It's just some wind and rain, and hailstones the size of tennis balls. Oh, and never mind the fact that it's FREEZING today! But otherwise, we're all good. :)

    Was so bad today, I wore two hoodies when I had to go get takeaway dinner, driving was hazardous, couldn't see and had the wipers on full speed.
    This winter sure is going to be a icy one.
    The people in northern U.S.A do not know what cold is.

    I heard about them tennis ball sized hailstones that hit Geelong, hope you guys down there are okay.
    Freaky cold weather, this is not normal, climate change for sure.
    Only a carbon tax will save us.

    I think my heels are frostbitten, need new slippers/moccasins.
    Keep having to stamp my feet to keep them warm.

    We know what cold is. -20 Fahrenheit blasts of cold air, blizzards, schools closed. Winter 2010 was bad.

    Stay warm guys

    Only those that live in Melbourne can understand our big freeze.
    You just don't understand man.
    We are close to Antarctica, we get cold Antarctic winds blow towards southern Australia.
