Title: Aha! Welcome to Summer!
Post by: Setekh on November 30, 2001, 09:54:00 pm
Well, here in Australia it's the first day of Summer. The weather's darn sweet, peaking at about 32ºC with beautiful Sun - I'm headed to the beach in a few hours.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

You lucky people in the Northern Hemisphere (how many of you, out of curiosity? Most of us by a long way, I figure...) get to have Winter. Snowfights? Tell me what it's like...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) And hey, don't blame me that my country has kick-ass weather. Y'all should come down here for a holiday or something.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Those REAL D&D freaks out there should also be able to point out that the seventh (or was it the ninth... oh well) demi-plane of hell is very cold.

I'm sure Norse mythology could provide some interesting insights into frigid damnation as well  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Winter haven't really kicked in here yet. It's around 4ºC which is atleast 4-5ºC more that normal. But the sun goes down at around 3 pm and that kind of sucks. Yesterday I woke up at 2 pm. I think I did't even saw the sun that day.

Steak, I for one honestly do not envy you.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) I hate the heat. In Jerusalem we can get from 40c down to a bit below zero. And since I come from Florida originally, I hate hot!
