They've just upped it to 42C

If I were to see 42°C here today, it'd shatter a record high! That's a mere 28°C.

I'll barely see 42°F today!

Happy birthday, Dave. As a present, come on up here and help me shovel the 10 cm of snow that's already fallen. It's still coming down.

PS: Thank you Santa, snow was on my list. The first snowfall of the year came on Christmas Eve.

I still have plenty down here, thanks.

Thanks also for the birthday wishes.

One day, I'll get to see snow. For now, though, the inside of my freezer will have to do!

Seeing/experiencing snow in person is kinda cool (the first time anyway). After that, the "novelty" wears off in a hurry lol

I know everybody (well those who live in colder climates) likes going to tropical places etc in the winter, but quite frankly the city with the best average yearly temp (for me, because I honestly don't like ridiculous heat) that I've been to (repeatedly) has been San Diego. Always seems to be in the 72F range : )

I've never been to Europe, but I suspect there are many places there like that as well.
