[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1210183, member: 16453"] I figured out why for comparable lattitudes you guys get so much colder over there. You have continual land mass that goes right up to the north pole or at least the narrow gap of water gets frozen over at this time of the year. Your weather gets no heating by going over large tracts of water coming down from the north. In Australia our winter weather comes up from the south but has to travel over large tracts of the Southern ocean and seeing that the water is not frozen there is considerable warming. I guess this is one of the advantages of being an island nation, probably one of the few weather related advantages we have. I think the snow would be a bit of novelty at first but can see how you would soon tire of it. I don't know how you get anything done in that cold, I know on our winter mornings when the temp might be -4C and wearing gloves my fingers quickly go numb and I am useless to do anything using fingers. Stay safe and warm, that "cabin fever" must be a pretty real condition for a lot of you guys too? Ken [/QUOTE]
