More Freezing Weather

No showers this morning, due to our hot water pipes freezing up. That's the first time in over 10 years... although Josh tells us the same thing happened on Tuesday when we weren't home.

Meanwhile according to this article on Monday night the temperature at Thredbo was colder than at Australia's Antarctic Base- that's cold.

It looks like after a period of very mild winters, coinciding roughly with the extended drought, we look like getting back to "normal".

So much for climate change

Records tumble as winter bites in Qld


Weather records continue to tumble in Queensland with parts of the state shivering in the coldest morning of the year.

Temperatures well below freezing are being reported at many centres in the south-east including the Darling Downs, the granite belt, Amberley and Brisbane.

At 6am, the temperature at Applethorpe on the granite belt was -7.3, Warwick recorded -5 and Dalby and Oakey -4.

This morning, Townsville recorded its longest cold snap in 66 years, with continuous minimums below 12 degrees.

The weather bureau's Greg Connors is predicting there is more to come.

"Not since 1941 have we had such a long cold spell and we think as Friday and Saturday approaches it's going to get even colder," he said.

"There's another burst of cold air coming up so we're getting back down to single figures again."
