@Duber2au Yeah, Christmas wrap is always covered in snow and other American icons…its very strange Iv only seen snow once, and where I work, the temperatures are often 42 – 46 degrees Celsius! (day before yesterday was 48) …oh how I wish for a cool day of 28!

I always laugh when here in Australia we get marketed snomen and snoglobes and other white things when snow in austrlia is rare, and nonexistent in summer-christmas

@Chris Thanks for knowing the difference between Austria and Australia, it means a lot to your Australian readers!

It was confusing when I was a kid to see Christmas imagery of snow and cold on TV when outside in Australia it was sweltering hot…

Im sure he means “austrian”, like beeing in “Austria”. Because that would make sense, even if you can ski here in summer too, but only on the few remaining Glaciers. Also, I dont think there are Mountains as high as in the picture in Australia, while here in Austria, there are.

Chuck – Kalifornians have other problems, though.

regarding cold..it’s all relative. I spend a lot of time outside these days, and catch a lot of flack from my co-workers. Not because I bundle up, but because I don’t. It was something like -10F the morning, and I’m walking around with my coat unzipped, no hat, no gloves… and I’m comfortable.

The stopped beating on me, though, when they found out the A/C in my truck was turned up full-blast, too.

Now.. they just stay away from me.

But, the truth is that they live a day in the future! How is that not exciting?

that’s how I felt when I learned about the whole iceland/greenland being reversed thing.
