Geez I'm glad I don't live in Victoria.
I've only worn a jumper twice so far this year (the last two days actually).

I bet Queenslanders are still in T-shirts though!!

Mini has to sleep outside.
Not very nice,
But this morning when i went out to walk to uni, my favourite weather website says the temp was just over 1, and the 'feels like' temp was -3.5, i ran my hand across the roof of the mini and made a big ball of ice the size of a fist, and could have easily made a dozen more with the amount of frozen stuff on the roof.

I think the mini needs a blanket.
However, it seems that right now is about the warmest part of the day, just hovering around 11.

I beat you all I live in Canberra (even I don't know why) apparently we have lots of adult shops and fireworks. Kinda keeps us warmer in the winter nights round here

lucky my mini isn't sleeping outside, but the van does. It's pretty hard for it to get cold as it's just a shell (no internals-so no feelings) Just that sad do something with me look :cry: :cry:
