Well.. this was my car at 9am this morning. Last night I was lazy and didnt put her in the garage..

Front of my car was all frozen when I got home around 4am.. But this morning the front was fine, I guess the sun defrosted. Mums car was completely frozen tho, we had trouble opening the car doors lol

Heres the rear of my car (the sun came up from the front)

I heard on the radio that the city was at 0degrees celcius over nite, and most suburbs were -3 degrees celcius.

Courtesy of cromax.. (this is his dirty vents not mine) - 1 degrees celcius!

OH PUHLEASE!!

In the winter here we get down to -40°C. not including windchill effect. With windchill we can hit -60°C.

Getting temps like -1 in the winter is sun tanning weather!

Almost. We see temps around 35 - 37C fairly often in the summer.

Hmm ... you have it worse than us, but at least you get snow!!!

It's rather soon for us to get this cold, it usually happens in July.
