todays temperature ???

[hrpearce]

Yesterday was one of the hotest I've tried to work in. It was 40C in the coolest part of my side varandah added to that the heat of the wind and it was almost unbearable to ride the motorbike around the paddocks . When the wind dropped around 17:00 I went spraying and the blitz fired up instantly with no choke and it was parked in an open front shed.

We have untypical winter weather this year. Since X-mas the temperatures are around freezing with a large part of The Netherlands covered in snow. Although it is only a thin layer in places, it stays! Typically, if and when we have snow, it melts instantly or thaws away in 1 - 2 days.

It makes me remember George Blackburn's description of a winter spent near Groesbeek...

Much of which was spent in the hood of a windmill, which is still in operation: http://www.oorlogsmusea.nl/artikel/6...-Groesbeek.htm

Must have been a breathtaking view, even more so because of the risk he was taking.

Our temps have been awesome lately in the high 20's.
Summer however has been very hot and very dry. Like a normal summer in this part of the world.
