Heat!!!

Thought people in the cold north might like this perspective on Australian outback weather this weekend, and how some residents will survive it. Check the video  'Need to beat the heat? Move underground'

And the red dust of the outback blows out to sea with a cyclone

Much appreciated; thank you for that, Pete.

I'm almost ashamed to tell you we had snow here in Eugene, Oregon this morning, with another round due tomorrow morning. You folks have really been suffering from the heat, and I'm sorry. I hope it breaks -- and gives you all a much needed break -- soonest!

All the best,

yeah plenty of frost here in ireland this morning,
we just dont get the severe weather conditions you guys get thank god
our winters are definitly getting worse over the last 10 years or so. so global warming is i reckon the main cause of all this crazy weather world wide.
but i guess in the meantime you guys be carefull out there.
