You must be joking ... Soldiers V Byron... like Mariners V Woy Woy pub...

No way chief - Soldier's is one of the best beaches in the world as far as I'm concerned.  Byron is over-run by hippies and such.

Sandra, minus 4 here tomorrow.  Hop over the Channel, it's warmer.

Flew 12,000 miles with the sole intent of never having to stand at a bus stop with wet shoes that are slowly freezing again.

Mission accomplished so far.

Ps - the book referred to is a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickins - dreadful prose, watch the Muppets version instead.

Tomorrow about 35F ... or 80C ... water currents are getting warmer ... love the water even now it's the kids that drag me out and say come on Dad we have to go...

Actually that IMO is a problem with Saturday night games at 18:00 or 19:00 many are still at the beach or on the lakes... should start at 20:00 like Fridays night.. Tomorrow night match starts at 18:00 .. meaning you have to leave the beach about 16:00 ... but that is when the heat starts to go out of the sun and you don't burn .. have a coffee around 18:00 or keep swimming...

Another thing about Byron .. around Seal Rocks (there is actually a name for this which I have forgotten) but around Seal Rocks the great southern current from the south pole and the great northern current from the Equator meet... meaning at Byron you still have the warmer nothern current to swim... BTW many have told me it is sad I know this about the southern & northern currents so if unimpressed be quite..

Another thing about Byron is the main lay of the beach is east / west rather than north south .. meaning you can float and ride the swells longer because the beach has the same lay as the ocean swell..

Surely a Melbourne adventure or two in November's past would have bought that about?? 

MF - fire up more lad.

after 30mins of constant snowing, it now (6.55pm CET) looks like this

the streets are covered with snow with ice under it - nice driving

 

[serious14]

It's stopped here for now. 

-4 at the moment.  Snow predicted for tomorrow though.  ;D

it is still snowing here and driving is nearly impossible as no street is cleared from the snow...

 

[serious14]

Ice on the road here, couple of the motorways are shut and a lot of side roads are impassable.  Nothing _too_ major though, as the M1 and M6 are still up and no important trains are cancelled yet.

Serious...these photos could almost be the street I used to live in 25 years ago.......you sure you're not in Markinch,Fife......

I love to reminisce about stuff but snow ain't one of them.Horrible stuff that turns to slush,makes yer toes and fingers numb,makes you fall over on the way home from the pub and makes you crash your car.

I've never understood why people pay a fortune to "go down the snow" over here......wtf!!!

Ye can shove yer snow.............

 

[serious14]

makes you fall over on the way home from the pub

Yes, I'm sure that was the snow.....

P.S.  Pretty sure most British streets look the same. 

Strangely enough, _not_ snowing in Scotland.
