I see in our local news you Queenslanders have SNOW!!  :confused1:   ???   Bloody hell, thought I read Tony said he hadn't seen a frost since leaving Blighty, well, now you've got a bit on snow to remind you of a UK summer.  :whistling:

Keep warm over there guys, I know you'll not be used to that cold.   Mug of hot soup or couple stiff whiskeys keeps the cold at bay . . .

Yeah Col, they are very soft up there, which you will see in the State of Origin tonight when NSW give them a Flogging
:stir: :whistling:

Thanks Col in Brisbane Tuesday it got to 17 deg with major wind chill. My truck changed lanes twice when wind blew.
I'm a woose and had a thermal shirt on  :whatever:

The snow they referred to was at Stanthorpe, it's quite elevated but conditions were just right.

Best allrounder I've ever owned 👍

It was -3 here this morning, bloody freezing, well, first decent once of the winter. parts of Christchurch only got to 2 degrees today!  "Eskimos" need not comment.  :whistling: :happy1:

No sooks here, about to win origin. I rode at 3 degrees yesterday, brrr, then ride home was maybe 10, super wind, trees all over road. Arse end of bike slipped twice on tree rubish. I got home, was glad to. One of my worst ever rides. Not sure if Michelins or Pirellis can grip better on tree rubbish. Thats one opinion for the forum.  :grin:

Lowest I've seen this week is 8 or 9.
Qld is a BIG place, no frosts or snow where I live and work.
Stanthorpe is 2 and half hours drive away and away from the coast.
I thought about wearing a jumper to work yesterday but never bothered.
It's 3.42am here and showing 11 degrees C at work.

Yeah Qld a big place. Stanthorpe cold because of its altitude. We did get to 3 degrees here, coldest for years. I actually enjoyed that ride.

Sorry but I'm a pussy when it's cold AND it was bloody cold the other day. I did manage a Monday ride around Somerset but it was getting cold then. I don't have a duck-ass fairing on the front to stop the wind factor. Joints on the bod' are stiffening up with all age.
