Could be a glorious, warm sunny day today then tomorrow could have wind blasting from the ocean or the mountains and showers. Not so much during summer but from autumn onward. We had 30 C here in Hobart on Saturday....then light snow on the mountain on Tuesday night. I took some visitors up the mountain on Sunday afternoon. It was 3.5 C at the top and blowing such a gale we could hardly stand up....it felt like -15. (They were from Newfoundland so used to it. ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find a lot of oldies can't afford to heat there homes, we used to check on some near us during bad weather when we lived in the UK, perhaps you could do the same show there is still some community spirit left despite what everyone says.
