That's global warming for you. And here we are in a polar vortex. Hope it cools off for you!
Same here in NYC. Frigid and we had some flurries.
25 degrees right now..we just had a quick snow equal run through here... very windy...
Amazon has camping lanterns with LED lights that run on batteries and make it really bright enough to read by, 4 for $20.00, I bought some for power failures just in case, it's a really good deal as most others are at least $12.00 for one. They are compact and can be hung up or set on a table or floor.It's still below zero. I think -2 currently. Windchill is colder of course. Bleh. If it gets to -26 Saturday night it will be a record for this time of year. It's not supposed to be this cold until mid-January! Haha, just watch, January will be 50 degrees.
I have a small unvented propane heater in one wall so even if the power goes out I still have some heat, although the furnace won't work without electricity. I also have a small portable propane heater, and a bunch of those little camping propane tanks. So I wouldn't freeze. But since it gets dark at 4:30 it would still be pretty miserable to lose power, have to sit around in the dark all evening.
30 degrees, that is hardly freezing, at least once I can brag about how hot it is in hereOh, wait...
Yes, we've been hearing about it. I'm about 1,000kms up the road, and our highest lately has been 33.I'm in Sydney DreamerRose. We had the hottest December day since the early sixties and the hottest ever Decemeber night. It seems we are breaking records for heat every month these days.
Where are you located in Australia? It must be somewhere in the north to get that kind of heat. Your kitties have the right idea!
